Jeanne-Claude Van Damme is Ben Archer, a gangster from Marseilles who now lives in LA; after a few decades of crime, he's decided to go straight and spend more time with his family. His wife Cynthia is an agent for the INS; she works to keep illegal Chinese immigrants out of the US. But when she discovers Kim (Valerie Tian), a troubled young girl on board a ship full of immigrants, she takes pity on her and brings the girl home with her. This turns out to be a mistake, as Kim is running for her life; when her maniacal father Sun Quan (Simon Yam), the trigger-happy leader of the Chinese Triad, discovers Kim's hiding place, he brutally murders all involved. Upon finding his wife's body, Ben resolves to extract revenge from the killers, and embarks upon a bloodletting of the entire Chinese mob, waging war with the aid of two of his former gang members.

Perhaps for the first time since the beginning of his successful career, Jean-Claude Van Damme delivers something that with some exaggeration can be called an acting performance. In this case, however, it’s all the other necessary ingredients of a film that are missing: a better script, more skillfully filmed action, and better actors in general. Technically, the film is surprisingly well done, and nothing can spoil the night-time L.A. Van Damme showcases only a minimum of his combat repertoire, which is relatively a waste, and it's even more of a shame because it is topped off with terribly poor editing, making the action sequences unbelievably erratic and the visibility of the action is therefore minimal. The music is decent, with a few memorable lines and interesting scenes, but overall, nothing special. But there is one thing that has to be acknowledged, this is somewhat different from what what we are used to from Jean.
