In the 90s Van Damme was huge. Of course everybody liked Arnold and Sly, but JCVD was somehow more cool for the 90s. He could do kickboxing and he even had long hair at some point. He was somehow "bad boy", he was just cool. Everybody talked about him in school, but I never watched that many of his films. But I always saw them in catalogues and in rental stores. So, many of his films (or their covers/posters) seem a bit nostalgic to me even if I never watched the film. Legionnaire is one of those cases.
The movie surprised me with its slow start which is a more drama based adventure. We get to see the guys in the legion and how they fare as they travel through the desert. It seems like no action film at all. But then there's a lot of action towards the end. The contrast is cool - after the slower start things start exploding like crazy and it's very nice.
I guess it's a little bit better movie than I first expected. Nothing super deep but it stays interesting all the way. Check it out.
