Irish, is this the movie where the opponent throws some chemical powder into the eyes of van damme while fighting and then he fights without looking at the opponent?


Yes it is


Death Warrant * 1/2
(First Viewing)

Detective Louis Burke joins a task force put together by the governor to investigate a series of unexplained deaths in the Harrison Penitentiary. While Burke poses as an inmate, attorney Amanda Beckett acts the role of his wife. Burke does succeed in befriending a few of the inmates who help him with the investigation. Inmates are mysteriously being murdered and it turns out, they are being murdered for their body organs. Burke begins an escape from the penitentiary, pursued by hundreds of angry inmates who have been set free and armed with the knowledge that Burke is a cop.

A pretty action-less movie that had a good concept on paper, but wasn't able to deliver on film. Jean-Claude Van Damme was horriablly average as detective Louis Burke and Patrick Kilpatrick was VERY lackluster as the villian, The Sandman. His character was just too unrealistic/unbelivable for me at times and interferred with the movie. The only positive to come out of this movie was Cynthia Gibb who played the attorney/detective Burke's "wife," who I felt was the only one who put forth the effort to do the best with what they were given.
