Oh dear
Sadly, this is not one of Van Damme's best. It is, however, the most blatantly homosexual of his films (excluding that gay soft-core movie he did a long time ago, but he had a big pink car in that, which was pretty manly. Or perhaps not) featuring some very sympathetic macho gays.
Our Jean goes undercover in prison basically, and from the moment he arrives, everybody wants to have forceful sex with him, apart from one dude who lives in the boiler room with a harem of transexuals. There's a ridiculously one-dimensional female love interest, but her character may as well have been called Smokescreen. There's some fairly average fight sequences too, but ultimately this is one for the guys. Who like guys.
The sand man
This is a typical Jean-claude van damme movie. Lots of testosterone and high kicking action. Van damme is an undercover cop going into a maximum security prison to investigate inmates being murdered, whilst in their he has to do lots of fighting and because I am sure he has it written into his contract he bares his arse once or twice. Like I said a typical Van damme movie, its a good no brainer actioner, the sort of thing to put on when you have had a few beers and have ordered a takeaway.
