NATASHA, VAN DAMME AND LAM... SHAZAM!!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

"MAXIMUM RISK" (1996) J. C. Van Damme and director Ringo Lam team up to produce an incredible action masterpiece that outdoes each of their other films in sheer non-stop action. Living up to the movie's title, the spectacular fight and vehicular chase scenes are so intense and deadly that I honestly don't see how they filmed it without losing some of the actors. And of course the sexy Natasha Henstridge adds her bare charm to the intensity in several sizzling scenes. This is a movie that moves so fast and furious that you'll want to watch it more than the usual number of times.

A Ringo Lam action fest.

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2000

Look, Van Damme films will never be in a class that I consider good fare. His stuff is usually thin on plot, full of laughable dialogue, and fist-thick on martial arts. Does that mean that I don't watch his stuff? No it doesn't. I've watched his movies because there are times that I don't want to think, just escape, and he provides just that in "Maximum Risk". Out of his movies that I have seen, this one turned out to be one of his best, if not the best (but honestly, he doesn't give us a lot to choose from).
"Maximum Risk" is an extremely violent movie with a very high body count. I lost track of the dead early on. While the plot is as thin as always (Russian mafia, twin brother, beautiful girl), Ringo Lam pumps it up with some nifty car chases (if you like that sort of thing) and provides the viewer with one heck of a ride as we step over the bodies. This is non-stop action from the get-go, and the fight scenes (yes, there are many) are hard-hitting and brutal, yet believable (almost a first).
For those that like Van Damme, this movie should be high on your list. For the rest of us, well, it is violent and even mean-spirited, but I ended up enjoying the ride, and the credit must go to director Lam. Between 1 and 10, "Maximum Risk" gets a solid 6.

A French cop investigates the murder of the twin brother he never knew he had who worked for the Russian mafia. Directed by legendary Hong Kong action movie director Ringo Lam, this is one of Jean Claude Van Damme's best films. A fun and solid action film though not up to the best Hong Kong action movie standards it's an enjoyable Hollywood equivalent with good action scenes and one of Jean Claude Van Damme's best performances in a dual role of twins, the second time he has played twins after Double Impact though this is an unrelated film.

"ID GIVE THAT A RINSE IN THE SINK BEFORE YOU USE IT MATE"

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 26, 2016

What I hate doing the most when reviewing movies is giving them a three star rating. The reason is because I feel crummy and because it appears, on the face of it, that I'm being unkind. I do struggle with this but three stars means the film is GOOD and most elements of them are spot on. I normally knock a point or two off for the way the story flows and the odd scene in the film. Apart from that my three star reviews are a solid gold three stars with very little to fault. Im rambling a little but needed to get my point across.

Maximum Risk is a very fine JCVD film and again shows off his very good acting skills. I've always thought that JCVD is a pretty good actor, and very underrated. He no Bobby DeNiro, but he does impress me with his more dramatic performances. Take the excellent Nowhere To Run, Wake Of Death, Until Death and the original Universal Soilder to some extent. They all show off his range as an actor, focusing more on his character, rather than just high kicking action. Actually, if you look at most of JCVD's films, especially the more recent ones you can see that he is doing his very best to down play his action man image. The best example of this is the film he played a version of himself in "JCVD" and he has shown he can be funny in Welcome To The Jungle. As you probably guest, I am a bit of a fan of Mr Van Damme but I'm not biest and will admit he has done some dodgy films but I am loyal and do own them all.

Right, the review of Maximum Risk. It's a pretty solid movie with JCVD playing twins, one of which is killed early on in a rather spectacular chase through the street of Nice. The other twin finds out that he had a brother and goes about trying to put the pieces back together, taking on his brothers identity, discovering that his bro has a list of Russian Mafia names. During the journey from France to New York and back, we are introduced to Natasha Henstridge, the girlfriend of the late twin. This where the story fails a little for me. It's all fine and dandy to have Natasha "I can't wait to get my jugs out" Henstridge along for the ride but you just know there will be a poinless bit of nudity. And in this case there is no surprise in that department. She is kidnapped with JCVD's charecter and spend time handcuffed together in a hotel room. Anyway they nip off to the bathroom and end up playing hide the sausage. It's all a bit silly, when you consider that this woman is a bit of tart when you think about it. She hardly knows her deceased lovers brother but is quite happy to have a quick shag with him. Its all a bit unessasary.

What's even more horrific is that our chatecters have been running around France and New York for days and have not even had chance for a wash! He plonka mush have smelt like a lump of Stilton and she must have been so sweaty, the stench would cause you to gag! If you are going to make love then have a good scrub first otherwise it will be like pulling open a toasted cheese sandwich.

There are some very good action scenes with fight in a sauna and another brutal car chase at the end of the film. All of which looks very authentic and real. The thing about the sauna fight scene is that is all done with towels wrapped around the waist that some how stay on perfectly. I have never understood this because I can never get my towel to stay on. There I am standing at the sink having showered and having a shave when without warning my towel will pop open and drop to the floor when all I'm doing is standing still with my Mach 3 Turbo.

So, to conclude, Maximum Risk is a solid and reliable film with an excellent performance from JCVD and a pretty convincing story which is let down by the short sex scene. But all is forgiven because of the other 99% of the movie which is very enjoyable and one JCVD's best efforts. Well recommended.

Van Damme flexes his muscles to find out about his unknown brother ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

Ringo Lam doesn't put a foot wrong in this action flick which keeps up a real adrenaline rush in its superbly choreographed, hi-energy action sequences. The story concerns Van Damme's twin brother, killed in Nice in the first scene, whom he never knew he had. The brother, Mikhail, had been at loggerheads with the Russian mafia when he tried to leave it. The surviving brother, Alain, takes on his identity. At the same time, he is now the one being targeted by some corrupt FBI officers who risk being exposed as working for the mafia should a list of names kept in a Nice safety deposit box fall into the hands of the US government ... All this is secondary, though, to the action, and Jean-Claude van Damme is brilliant in these scenes, and like a true hero, emerges virtually unscathed. Whether in the streets of Nice, a sauna in New York, or spilling out onto the subway of the same, he seems strained to breaking point, but comes through. The camera work matches him - these sequences are superbly edited, often using realistic settings: the markets and narrow streets are used to ratchet up the knife-edge tension even more, usually with many innocent bystanders coming to within an inch of their lives, and fruit and vegetable stalls sent flying. It is exciting like a comic book brought to life. The effects don't stop there, though, as the cast is excellent, including French stars Jean-Hugues Anglade and Stephane Audran, Natasha Henstridge adding glamour and love interest, and Van Damme himself really convincing in the part as a man of great reserves of strength - and decency. The visual panache extends to the New York streets, the lighting at night, the interior of a nightclub with red and yellow balloons, an amiable guy in a rough neighbourhood who has both a waxed floral tablecloth and a dartboard. There's also a slightly loony NY cab driver who gets a surprising pathos. Van Damme shows his muscles in a sauna fight wearing the skimpiest of towels, that never even falls off ... and then slips into a pair of white long johns and matching top under a soft black knee-length leather coat - all in the blink of an eye, and in spite of having a hail of bullets directed at him through a metal door at the time - worn open to show off his own buff shape, and runs down the centre of the street like the Marathon Man, with the Russian mafia in hot pursuit, and of course eludes them. Now that's style.

One of Van Damme's Best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

Ringo Lam's 'City Heat' was a well crafted action/crime drama that would later influence Tarantino into creating 'Reservoir Dogs'. So its no surprise that Ringo Lam's Amerian Debut is a solid little actioner and probably one of Van Damme's best films. After Hard Target, Timecop and Sudden Death Van Damme seem to be on a roll and this film is no exception. The twin brother theme is used to good effect again and is a little less over the top than 'Double Impact'. Natasha Hendstrige looks stunning as usual and is a likeable leading lady. Maybe not as explicit as Species, you do still get a glimpse of her 'assets' (in glorious high defintion). The film is well-acted and fast-paced and it definately delivers on well-choreographed action sequences. In terms of blu ray quality, the disc is about the same standard as Sudden Death and Timecop. The picture is probably as good as you are gonna get from a mid-nineties action flick and is a worthy upgrade from the DVD. The sound delivers as dialogue is crisp and clear and you get plently of low-end thump to accomodate all the action: bullets spray, bones snap and Jean Claude kicks...

A very good and enjoyable action movie by Van Damme

Maximum Risk is a really good action movie. Better than I hoped it would be. I really enjoyed it. Van Damme's twin identical brother has been killed and he is wants to find out who has done it. He has coming more than he hoped for with the Russian Mobsters and the renegade FBI agents after him. He goes from one city to onother and meets his twin's brother beautiful girlfriend played by Natasha Henstridge. He has a task in hand trying to expose an international conspiracy with all the traces that had anything to do with his brother are disappearing fast. I enjoyed the action in this movie and Van Damme's acting is really good to some people surprise who are sceptical about his acting skills. He proved them wrong with this movie. Get the dvd as you will enjoy it. Lots of baddies to keep you going. Great Seller. Fast Delivery.Thank You.
