Maximum Risk
The Other Side of Safety.
Prepare for Maximum Van Dammage when action superstar Jean-Claude Van Damme is joined by sexy newcomer Natasha Henstridge in their most explosive roles yet! Alain Moreau's investigation into the death of his identical twin brother leads him from the beauty of the south of France to the mean streets of New York City and into the arms of his brother's girlfriend. Pursued by ruthless Russian mobsters and renegade FBI agents, the duo race against time to solve his brother's murder and expose an international conspiracy. Sparked by the erotic chemistry between Van Damme and Henstridge, spectacular stunts, and globe-hopping adventure, Maximum Risk is "vintage Van Damme"

another great Van Damme film - E-Man
"Maximum Risk" is not just a good Van Damme movie, but it's also probably one of the better action movies in the last few years. The story is well written (for an action movie), and is fast paced. Director Ringo Lam ("City on Fire") impresses the viewer with excellent action sequences. This is definitely Van Damme's best turn as an actor. Natasha Henstridge does a rather decent turn as the damsel in distress, and creates good chemistry between herself and Van Damme. I don't see why this was a huge flop in theaters; it's surely Van Damme's best and at heart an exciting action flick.All over this one! - Smith_Mr.
Around the release of this movie was when Van Damme started on 'the downswing'. This being Ringo Lam's first Hollywood procuction, it was only fitting to have Van Damme star just as Van Damme starred in John Woo's first Hollywood release.
Add in a very sexy Natasha Hensbridge and some decent action, you have a notable rental. Definately not amung the best of Van Damme or Lam it is still enjoyable.
