Frankly, I'm not surprised at all if this or any other film that Van-Damme Has ever made wasn't screened for the press. In fact, whenever a film of his isn't screened for the press, it's a sign that it's ten times worse than those that are. This film is one of those. It's alternately dull and laughable, and the even the fight scenes are pretty monotonous and lethargic. I felt sorry for Moore's having to take up a role as underwritten as that of the pirate captain, and I certainly hope he was well paid for wasting his time in this borefest. In fact, I noticed something here that plagues a lot of Van-Damme's other movies as well: sentiment that's so fake, it's irritating. And that's another one of the things that makes this movie a sinking ship. If you want real martial-arts pleasure, I suggest you go watch Enter the Dragon. If there's any film that can provide excitement that doesn't require deep thought, Dragon does it the best. As for Van-Damme, let's hope his first attempt at directing will be his last. With this film, he's only proven that he's as terrible a director as he is an actor.
