action
Boxing champion Barclay uses his popularity and the money from his prize competitions to completely renew the neighborhood of his youth and to ensure a better and safer standard of living for the youth. When his former boxing competitor and archenemy Tyrrell Singletery, whom Barclay had brought behind bars, is released early from prison, Barclay and especially his sister Tamara fear acts of revenge against the business man. His head of security, Mullins, then hired veterans Clarence Bowden and Philippe Sauvage to protect Barclays. Although Sauvage can prevent a first attack on Barclay, but Bowden is killed, he soon clashes with his client, who considers Sauvage to be mentally impaired. Nevertheless, Sauvage manages to put together a capable bodyguard team, the Hard Corps, with whom he can ultimately successfully take action against single-heterry and his corrupt helper, Detective Teague. Tamara, kidnapped by Singletery, is freed undamaged and the gangsters can be eliminated.
criticism
The lexicon of international films ruled that the film was "nothing more than crude action entertainment". It was a "rowdy Van Damme vehicle that gave its star every opportunity for physical presence."
