The most fascinating thing about this movie, is the way in which Mickey Rourke has physically demolished himself totally. Especially his face which looks worse than it did in Johnny Handsome. He must have had steroids for breakfast, lunch and dinner to get this pumped up. I just love it. I laughed my pants off when I saw him barechested in Double Team. True artists suffer to accomplish what they want to express. You won´t believe it until you see it. The movie itself is a pretty bizzare one, combining extreme violence, insanity and the like with really sentimental parts, almost like in Hong Kong-movies. Sadly not as good though. Although this may sound very pessimistic, I strongly recommend it to everyone who wants to have a good time looking at pumped muscles, weapons, toughguys and violence.

This is without a doubt one of the worst movies EVER, I emphasize, EVER made. What´s worse, my old hero Dolph is in it and he´s starring it. Jesus... The story is actually quite good but the way it´s carried out made even my body hurt. The fighting scenes for starters are about as well choreographed as a fight between two drunks slugging it out in the gutter. The actors, except for Dolph who kinda sucks also, perform so badly you can´t help but wonder if their reason for being there is that they´re all friends of the director, who by the way must have been absent most, if not all, of the time. This is §12 million spent in an unimaginable way, because by the look of the effects and scenery, the cost can´t be a cent above §1000.
