Review of Sudden Death (1995) by Carlitos W — 04 Sep 2006
Van damme, despite the way he could probably kick the crap out of everyone, will always insist in struggling like he's going to loose in a fight on camera. Times that by about 2 Hours and you have this movie! Basically he used to be Fireman until "the accident" now he's a fire safety guy at some arena.
.. but wait the night he just happens to take his kids to a game just happens to be the same night that a nasty villian holds the vice president and the whole stadium hostage until he gets a lot (2Billion7HundredMillion) of money! Worst acting goes to the vilain in this movie for his melodramatic attitude and annoyingly camp laugh.
Van Damme has a few fight scenes but always, always ends up stabbing something in the persons neck to kill them, drill bit, chicken bone... you name it. The movie has a Die Hard type feel to it but it really doesn't cut it.
Not really action packed, occasionally violent, cheesy and predictable. Even for a typical "Guy" type of movie this isn't good but its not bad.
