Sudden Death Reviews
Tripe, but hard not to enjoy.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 13, 2017
| Original Score: D- | Dec 27, 2010
Reuniting Hyams and Van Damme, director and star of Timecop, this spectacular nail-biter exploits their combined, if limited, abilities to the full.
| Feb 9, 2006
Offers above-average pyrotechnics, a body count that steadily mounts, and plenty of hand-to-hand combat.
Full Review | May 20, 2003
Sudden Death is one of the best action thrillers of 1995. It's also the film Jean-Claude Van Damme has been building up to for 10 years.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 18, 2002
Despite the elaborate stunts, go-go-go direction from Peter Hyams, plus butt-kicking and surprise goalie action from Van Damme, Death deserves the hockey-puck booby prize for...getting its jollies by putting kids in jeopardy.
Full Review | May 12, 2001
A treat for Jean-Claude Van Damme fans, a superior action thriller loaded with jaw-dropping stunts and special effects, and strong in production values.

Though the climactic duel atop the arena roof is patently absurd, it's also exciting as events go into sudden-death overtime, just like the game being played below.

Perhaps the world does not require more than a dozen or so Die Hard clones.You tell me.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000
Van Damme races against time, trying to thwart Boothe and defuse all the bombs. But in the hands of director Peter Hyams, these are just banal action-movie chores.
