The movie starts off with some promise a boxer is asked to take a dive, he wins the fight instead and runs out of the ring and tries to get to the train to bring this woman he is in love with to America. However he is almost captured by the corrupt police and mafia but some how joins the army and goes to Morocco. The whole entire time I'm just staring at the bump on JCVD head wondering how he got it and how long it's been there.
From there when they go to the army they have no plot, no motivation or anything besides proving who is in charge about almost 40 minutes in. Is he going back to get revenge on the possibly mafia, is he going to go back to get that woman and go to America? No none of that is established and is hardly mentioned at all even up to an hour in. I'd say they could have cut the film down a bit and it would have given it less of a slow and boring momentum but no it wouldn't have saved it.
Without ruining the ending.. yeah .. not worth watching. Paint drying is more exciting.
