Review of The Order

The Order (2001)
2/10
Pure, unadulturated crap.
5 July 2002
Not sure WHAT movie that IMDB's reviewer was watching; but, this movie rises to an entirely new level of suck. As a martial artist and martial arts movie afficianado; I was horrified at what will turn out to be one of Van Damme's worst movies. Totally missing the raw power of Bloodsport; filled with vague religious references and a horrid attempt at a plot-line. Van Damme, in the future, should stick to high kicks and his trademark splits(sadly missing in this movie). Female viewers will even be more disappointed as this movie is even missing the usual gratuitous shot of Jean-Claude's naked behind. This is akin to a porn movie attempting to have a serious plot. Just stick to what you do best and forget about trying to win an Oscar. Watch it if you're drunk and bored; but, if you want some decent martial arts eye-candy; pick up a Steven Segal flick and watch for the broken elbows.
