I rented this from Red Box.

So what's this? Jaun-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren doing a movie together that isn't a Universal Soldier sequel. Well... it's a movie at least. I can call it that.

So what's the story? Van Damme plays Scott Wheeler who is some sort of special agent who has some data on a flash drive or something. He and his partner are on the run and he gets captured, his partner killed, and him framed for killing their contact. So he's taken to this special prison that is a submarine where Dolph Lundgren is kept prisoner also. A place that doesn't exist for people who don't exist, yada yada yada. Long story short, he breaks loose and teams up with a couple of others on the sub when the other agents turn evil and he teams up with Dolph as well and it just becomes one huge plot hole after another.

The acting is horrible, with the dialog painful at times. The effects are bad, even cars that get shot up having no bullet holes. Even Van Damme's acting seems phoned in. The film's budget was just 5 million dollars, and it shows. The effects are terrible. And the CGI of the sub is puke worthy.
This film isn't quite as bad as the schlock that The Asylum shits out... but it's pretty close.
It's just a mindless action film that is bad even by mindless 90's action film standards.

The only person who seems to be putting any effort into the movie is Dolph and he enjoys himself... only he literally only has about 3-5 minutes of screen time. He really got the bad end of the deal with this one.

Here's my Two Scraps Review of the film.https://scrap.tf/raffles/15T28X

Continuity mistake: When Ryan and Taylor are talking, she puts on a green shirt and her ponytail is still inside it. It cuts to a different angle angle and suddenly her hair is outside her shirt.
