| Once upon a time Jean-Claude Van Damme was a decent action hero. The
Muscles from Brussels bursted into the Hollywood market with mindless
adventure films, boasting his spectacular martial-arts ability. Some of
these excursions were fun. But now it seems...more |

| A "knock-off" is generally defined as a cheaply produced imitation of a
genuine article, like those watches they sell on the streets of New York
that carry the brand name "Rolax." True to its title, "Knock Off" is a
low-budget substitute for a real...more |

| Van Damme stars this time as Marcus Ray, of all things, a designer jeans
rep. Yes, you read that right. He, and partner Tommy Hendricks (Rob
Schneider), rule the Hong Kong offices of V6 designer jeans...jeans so
strong that an elephant can't tear them...more |

| Just two weeks ago after I saw The Avengers, I walked out of the theatre
thinking, "Could there be any worse film than this?" After seeing
Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Knock Off, a little voice in the back of my head is
screaming "Yes!" more |

| Jean-Claude Van Damme movies tend to be, if nothing else, a lot of
mindless fun. His latest film, "Knock Off," skips on the fun part leaving
a wildly incoherent exercise that is, well, simply mindless. more |

| "Consistency" - I think that this is a word that doesn't exist in the
vocabulary of Director Tsui Hark. His Honk Kong action offering,
starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, is a muddled mess that pushes you from
one action sequence to another without really...more |

| "Knock Off" is exactly that: a cheap knock off of an action movie. It's
also the worst movie I have seen thus far this year. I figured it would
be at least a couple of months before I saw the worst film of 1998, but
alas, it has already been found. more |
