One of the most famous action films in Jean-Claude Van Damme's career, which brought him considerable success. In addition to playing the lead role, Van Damme is also one of the screenwriters and executive producers of this film. He plays twin brothers who lost their parents at a very early age. This was the work of the Hong Kong mafia. But the criminals must answer for this terrible crime: 25 years later, the brothers, now young athletes in their prime, begin to take revenge on those responsible for their parents' death.
As already mentioned, this is a very vivid and unforgettable film starring Van Damme! It is full of high-profile shootouts and special effects. Despite the fact that, in addition to Van Damme, there are also Bolo Yeung and Corinne Averson, who are professional athletes and played negative roles, there are relatively few fights here, but they are staged brilliantly. The fight between Van Damme and Yeng on the ship is particularly impressive. Here, each of them shows all the fighting skills they have acquired through studying martial arts. And since Van Damme's stunt double also plays a role here, the film is twice as interesting as other films starring Van Damme. This film was directed by the famous director Sheldon Lettich. The musical accompaniment is perfectly suited to this genre and even better matches the events unfolding in the film. The film is somewhat tense to watch, but one thing is certain—it is not boring at all. The cast is quite good, even though it includes some unknown actors.
A very successful action film that raised Van Damme's popularity even higher. And it was released at a time when many action stars were at the peak of their fame, namely in the early 90s. If you watch Double Impact for the first time, you will want to see it again and again. That's what happened to me. Therefore, considering the many merits of the film, I give it a well-deserved...
