Darren McCord (Jean-Claude Van Damme) must rescue his little girl from terrorists who have interrupted the Stanley Cup ice hockey final. The bad guys threaten to blow everybody up unless they get a billion dollars from the treasury by the end of the game. McCord has his work cut out if he's going to stop the explosion and retrieve his child before that final buzzer. (Universal Pictures UK)

Another legend. Van Damme can do everything, he takes down terrorists, masters acrobatics, and even showcases save of the year as a goalkeeper. It may be ridiculous, but it has its charm, especially for fans of the 1990s. The fights are decent, the villain is very elegant, and the visual effects very inconsistent, from the good (the rocket launcher) to the incredibly awkward (helicopter slow motion). It is very hard not to laugh during the over-the-top finale, but you have to take the Belgian tiger with a grain of salt. Clichéd and quite average, what else to expect from Peter Hyams?
