I've already seen the movie, so I'm mainly looking for reviews of the DVD itself. Any problems or issues I should be aware of?
Incidentally, for those who want a review, here's one in a single paragraph: Van Damme stops maiming formerly good Hong Kong directors' films and gets back to his rude and crude indie USA action roots. It's very entertaining. Over-the-top and full of goofy moments that actually seem like they were _intended_ to be ridiculous. Rock'n'roll industrial-strength gunfights, an insane pro-wrestler showdown, and bad acting abound. More refined action fans who are rolling their eyes at this should still hold out for the stupendous final fight. Truly nice work, choreography is some of the best ever for a US film. Could've been a bit longer though.
