After a daring escape from a prison transport, Sam Gillen (Jean-Claude Van Damme) needs a place to lie low. Clydie (Rosanna Arquette), a young widow with two small children, needs someone to help fight what appears to be a losing battle against the corrupt developers trying to drive her off her land. Mookie (Kieran Culkin), Clydie's son, seems to have solved all of their problems when he ends up befriending Sam, who's hiding out on their property. Sam soon becomes involved with Clydie and her kids, who offer him a sense of purpose and fulfillment he's never known. Sam discovers something in himself that will make him do anything to protect the family that is protecting him. With Ted Levine (The Silence Of The Lambs) as the ruthless hired gun sent by the developer to "persuade" Clydie to sell her land. © 1993 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Yes..he's pretty to look at(and plenty here),but in actuality,he's not bad here.less stupid violence and a more sensitive tone here.my only problem with this film was a dinner between this actor,two young children and their mother discussing the "size" of van damm' s penis.not exactly dinner table manners ! The story line is not very new and in fact,pretty lame and not worth being troubled by screen discussion.and not much dialogue.like I said..he's pretty to look at,and thank God,the noise level is low,but for a van damm film,this is one of his more sensitive performances.get it for a lonely Saturday night and Don't expect great art,and even a few tears can be shed for the ending,but hey,every one deserves a good hug now and then..even for van damm !
