Double Team

Anti-terrorist spy Jean-Claude Van Damme and shady arms dealer Dennis Rodman star in this ridiculous and sometimes down-right stupid would-be action thriller. The two are after Van Damme's pregnant wife who has been kidnapped by the really evil Mickey Rourke. Van Damme gets a whole lot of air time while then-NBA superstar Dennis Rodman tends to get lost in the shuffle. Rodman does make for a strangely alluring screen presence, but it appears that the film-makers did not want to "over-whelm" the greatest rebounder of all time with too much work. Paul Freeman (of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" fame) also is an amazingly interesting character, but he is not utilized near enough either. Too much Van Damme to make the film work in the end. 2 stars out of 5.
