An action film directed by Sheldon Lettich, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme.
A man in the French foreign legion hears that his brother is killed and escapes. He stows away on a boat to New York city and gets in a street fight there. The bookie becomes his manager and introduces him to an elite fight club. After making tons of money, he goes to Las Angeles to see his brother, who is now dead. He finds his brother's wife and daughter and tries to take care of them financially.
This was a pretty standard "fighting for money" movie. The characters are as shallow as the plot and the style is typical of the genre. The fights are good and Jean-Claude uses some cool Thai boxing techniques. I'm rating this o.k. for being exactly what I expected. I did, however, enjoy watching it.
