Excellent Van Damme film!, 30 January 2000
8/10
Author: action-6 from Froland, Norway

Knock off is Van Damme`s second movie to be directed by Hong-Kong director Tsui Hark. The story and acting of this movie is not important at all, because it focuses mainly on its many actionsequences. Van Damme is good as always, and the movie contains many well-directed actionscenes. Don`t watch it if you prefer quality acting, realistic characters and stunning special-effects, because this movie is a low-budget action-flick made for the fans of Van Damme. 8/10
