adonis98-743-186503 Jean Claude plays an official who's just been appointed as Second In Command to the U.S.Ambassador at an American Embassy in a small, turbulent Eastern European nation. When local insurgents attempt a coup d'etat, the nation's President takes refuge inside the embassy. If you don't expect anything really big from it 'Second in Command' will for sure make you have a very good time and Van Damme is very good in his role but any type of role like this really. Good action, alright action and a decent plot make for a very decent flick too. (7/10)

Mike Boyd So farooqnk from Pakistan, yes a real capital of film going critique that place, has said: "After Replicant this was the second best JCVD direct to DVD!" Well, that doesn't say much for the rest. He also said: "Yeah believe me this movie will rock you from the start to the end point." No, really, he said that. I'm not making this up. Honest! :) Followed by: "You will be stucked to your seat and your breath will hang out there with jcvd." Er, what? OK, I get it. But really, this was so bad. People in the street aiming RPGs at the embassy and being totally ignored by the people inside, apart from one soldier who says - guess what: "They've got RPGs".So why not shoot the bloke BEFORE he fires it? No, no. You don't want to do that! Because then you wouldn't be able to film some lovely explosions and things going bang! So after the explosions and the things going bang, our hero says: "Protect the windows!". And then these enormous great shutters come down to - you guessed it - protect the windows.So the question that springs to mind is: Why on God's green earth didn't they "protect the windows" BEFORE the idiot fired the RPG?you know, like they would've done in the real world.Too ridiculous.Waste of film. Waste of time.

KHayes666 When I first saw the back cover to this, the first thing I could think of was "uh oh....another military themed movie." But appearances can be deceiving and it turned out to be a decent flick.The plot to this one is a new president was elected in Moldavia (Vigo the Carpathian must be proud) and the citizens are none too happy. A gaggle of rebel militants threaten to overthrow and kill the new prez so the US Embassy calls upon Van Damme to save the day. What looks like a standard evac turns into a complete Alamo where the US Marines barely make it out alive with the president.I thought the cast did a hell of a job with the roles they were given, Raz Adoti was hilarious which would be akin to his role in Doom. Van Damme was his usual self which you can consider good or bad while the rest of the unknowns did a tremendous job. The only negative I can think comes near the end where the Moldavian army sides with the rebels and lays waste to the Embassy building, are we to believe a few American cobra choppers repel a panzer column? The highlight of the movie is Raz Adoti's one liners, picking up where he left off in Doom. The rest of the movie was a modern day Alamo, I say its worth picking up only if you now what you're getting into 6 out of 10

Lesley Fernandez This is absolutely THE worst movie I have ever seen Van Damme in. The plot is rubbish, the actors are rubbish and everything about it is nothing but dreadful. Van Damme is clearly past his prime and it is about time he retires from making any more 'action' movies, like Steven Seagal.This movie was a total waste of time! Do not even consider watching this B grade movie. You are better off doing anything but this. Trust me when I say that this movie is to be avoided at all cost. Any of Van Damme's movies, even when he made his first appearance in 'No Retreat, No Surrender' is miles better than this effort! 'Bloodsport' would be considered an Academy Award winner compared to this movie, which would not be fit even for TV viewing. It IS that bad!
