Review of Double Team (1997) by Desson Thomson for Washington Post — 03 Jan 2014
Tough guys snarl at each other or dive out of the way before some explosion reduces their biceps to gymboy tuna. Van Damme still talks like a Belgian choirboy. But he’s physically awesome, of course.
He can do things with his body that it hurts to even contemplate. If nature intended for men to do the splits or high kicks, boxer shorts would not have been invented. As for Rourke, I am convinced he’s made entirely of leather.
He is essentially a boxing glove with a heartbeat.
