Maximum Risk Bluray Review

Maximum Risk

After making a number of violent Hong Kong films that came to known for their heroic bloodshed, Ringo Lam came to Hollywood to make his first American film.Which included the likes of the Belgian martial arts star Jean-Claude Van Damme. MAXIMUM RISK, like Van Damme's previous DOUBLE IMPACT, is the story of twin brothers, not again.

Alain Moreau (Jean-Claude Van Damme) who is a French police man, never knew he had a brother, much less a twin, until he finds him lying dead on the streets of his European home town, after being horribly murdered. To find out who his brother was, Alain must step into his shoes, quite literally. He must become Mikhail, and follow his footsteps back to New York's tough Little Odessa and into the same shadowy underworld that swallowed his brother, a dangerous path to take. There's only one problem: all traces of Mikhail's life are rapidly disappearing, and the one person who knew Mikhail best may not be telling all she knows, what a b****.

Mistaken for his brother and encircled by a Russian syndicate in New York's Little Odessa, Alain is quickly drawn into corruption and crossfire, and shocked by the instinctive rage it provokes in him.

A quite interesting plot but bluray makes everything even better. The audio is English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround, so all the action, explosions and ass whooping sounds crisp and crsytal clear and seeing there are plenty of tremendous action set pieces to relish, what more could you ask for? Maximum Risk traverses onto Blu-ray in a remarkably average 2.40:1, 1080p high definition transfer. Fortunately, "average" is still fairly good.
