Jean Claude, again, faces his biggest challenge yet and as usual there are tough guys a-plenty ready, willing and able to incurr his wrath. The ironically named Burke beats unruly prisoners to a pulp beat up every few minutes in a huge array of crunching fight sequences as he seeks to uncover the truth behind a series of brutal prison murders. All of the narrative mainstays of a JCVD film are present by his outside contact, a pretty girl posing as his wife on visiting days, the deadly enemy from his past and not least the powerhouse of a finale in which the main villain jumps back out of a furnace to continue the fight. Cool! A must-see for fans of the genre fans and a good deal of exciting fun for non-fans.
