In a violent and corrupt prison, decorated cop Louis Burke must infiltrate the jail to find answers to a number of inside murders. What he finds is a struggle of life and death tied in to his own past.This movie is notable for being one of the last Cannon films, as well as the first film from David Goyer. And it is an excellent example of both, being that over-the-top fun we expect and love. This is not high art, but it does not need to be.The generic VanDamme film is a lot of kicking and punching and nonsense. "Cyborg" has become something of a cult classic despite being incredibly stupid. This is a more intelligent film, with actual character depth and plot. Maybe not a strong plot. And maybe the twists are a little too obvious. But still a fun ride.

This is one of those action movies when an innocent action movie star goes to hell on earth – prison. Of course we know that he has to go there ,because duty calls. This movie is cheesy fantasy in style of early 90's.The story written by David Goyer (writer of Blade" series and The Dark knight trilogy") is mildly interesting. The movie wants to be dark , but personally I find "Death warrant" too cheesy to take seriously. I find it laughable that such pretty face like Van Damme beats all those "scary" tough criminals. The love story feels completely generic here. The action scenes are kinda lifeless. The movie becomes really laughable in the end with Van Damme showing signs of really bad acting and over the top violence. The writing is mediocre at best.Another movie strictly for Van Damme fans. I would be impressed with this movie if I was 8 years old. I give it 2/10.

Probably the best action prison movie around. I am not talking about escape thriller type films. I am talking about high kicks, jump kicks, face punches, and people getting lit by fire. This was filmed during Van Damme's glory years with such classics as Kickboxer, Bloodsport and Universal Soldier (MY personal Favorite). Death Warrant is Top Tier Van Damme and he knows it. He has that early cockiness about him that he seems to lose as he gets older and his films steadily get worse and worse and eventually he only makes straight to video type films. Interesting tidbit, Death warrant was written by David Goyer, who has also written Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy, for those starving Batman fans who need more. This film is dark and gritty but still has that 90s flare which I think brings a nice balance to the movie. If you are in the mood for some Van Damme Spilt kicks and don't want to think to hard then this is the film for you.You can get more info by visiting my Youtube Channel Logan Toxic or by visiting my page at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIsf-VfAAtU
