Summary: Great Action!
Comment: If you like cop movies with tons of action, this one is for you! The story line is interesting and the acting is very convincing. I definately agree that this movie is a showcase for Michael Biehn - he's at his best in every sense of the word.

Summary: Biehn at his buddy flick best!
Comment: this is not a capital G great movie - but it is a fun action/cop/ buddy movie that ANY fan of Michael Biehn should enjoy. I actually like it better each time i see it - sure, its a bit predictible but - i guess i'd rather that than some of the stuffy movies that the "Critics" like - it has humor - action and Michael - whats not to like???

Summary: Michaen Biehn Showcase
Comment: For Michael Biehn fans (Terminator, Navy Seals, The Rock) this is a terrific showcase for his physical action/emotionally wounded style. It's a typical detective/buddy flick, with an interesting juxtaposition of Chinese and Italian mobsters. Michael's in top form, and is great fun to watch.

Summary: Stay far far away from this one.
Comment: This is just plain bad. Don't waste your time on this one. Watch Barney instead.

Summary: Good action sequences don't make a good film
Comment: Let me be blunt : DOUBLE EDGE (aka American Dragons, and whatever other names it has decided to go by elsewhere) is just one rung above the complete trash that Michael Biehn should be avoiding at his stage of his acting career.

Besides the above-average action sequences in this film, the film has nothing. It doesn't have good dialogue. It doesn't have an original or compelling plot. There's no romantic angle involved (unless you want the "vengeful husband angle," an old movie tactic that isn't even done well here). It doesn't even have a good one-liner you can share with your buddies afterwards. Nothing.

The plot? Nah. I'll let someone else waste their time trying to explain it. I've heard one plausible excuse for why this movie is bad : That it tries to emulate the Hong Kong / Asian action films, the type that have made Jackie Chan an international movie star.

It's plausible, but not likely. This movie is bad because it's bad. And that, in itself, is too bad - A half-decent plot would have made the good action scenes in this film great.
