Replicant


2001- Martial Arts/Action

Its March and it is "Damme Month" so every Wednesday were looking at Van Damme in his most recent work. This week we watched "Replicant"

Synopsis:
Van Damme is a Cereal Killer constantly stumping our hero Michael Rooker. Rooker retires his career as a cop a looser due to the 5 years attempting to arrest Damme. A seceret Gov. Organization figured out that the only way to capture the Killer is to clone him and find him, hoping that the 'Killer' inside the clone doesn't manifest.

All-in-All:
Wow, how the mighty has fallen. i may need a replicant to abuse to for no good reason here to make myself feel better about myself. The action is very stretched out, and the story too stupid for anyone to follow. The only saving thing with this film is the Horrible acting of Michael Rooker where he must have learned his craft from Macho Man Randy Savages Acting College. Is Rooker happy? concerned? exited? angry? it is for your interpretation. The other thing is the constant Van Damme abuse. He gets beat down on this film helplessly cuffed to a pipe and barley clothed at least 3 times! I watch this film if you truly are a man of low self esteem and an unclear view of your manliness.
Riko's Rating: C-
