Plots(1)
In this action-packed, edge-of-your-seat film, Jean-Claude Van Damme plays an official who's just been appointed as "Second in Command" to the U.S. Ambassador at an American Embassy in a small, turbulent Eastern European nation. When local insurgents attempt a coup d'etat, the nation's President takes refuge inside the embassy. The embassy is then besieged by the well-armed insurgents. The U.S. Ambassador is killed in the ensuing action, and now it's up to Van Damme and the embassy's small detachment of U.S. Marines to fend off the attackers. (official distributor synopsis)

One of the most terrifying action films of all time, iIt's truly unbelievable how low Jean-Claude Van Damme can go. The director was evidently on drugs during the filming of this masterpiece, because such choppy editing and unfinished scenes are not normally seen. It starts off incredibly poorly with poorly chosen filters that are sometimes present and sometimes not, continues with some amateurishly shot sequences (with a digital camera), and ends with action scenes shot so insanely that I didn't even want to believe it. It looks like the most disgusting mix of everything possible and impossible. And leading the pack is big boss Van Damme, whose moves are just as bad as the entire film. Truly an amateurishly shot monstrosity that I would ban from distribution.
