The sets look like a cheapo version of Blade Runner...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 1, 2022

Since nothing about the film is taken seriously, there's a bit of fun to be had with the exaggerated makeup effects, pervasive sarcasm, and kung fu combat.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 11, 2020

Well shot and set-dressed, but otherwise full of bad dialogue, poor acting, and so very little plot or even fighting scenes. To be avoided!

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 24, 2019

[A] clever and lively adaptation of the popular video game.

The thing about this movie is that it's absolutely mediocre. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 16, 2016

Even at eleven years old I knew "Double Dragon" sucked.

There is a genial exuberance to the lead performances of Wolf and Dacascos, who behave as though the Lee brothers aren't too many rungs above Beavis and Butt-Head on the evolutionary ladder.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 19, 2014

A surprisingly timid and largely toothless action fantasy for kids.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 7, 2010

Even kids won't get much of a kick out of this high-energy, low-IQ futuristic slugfest.

How hard would it be to come up with a story at least as good as that of the original Nintendo game? Impossible, apparently.

Nonsense

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 18, 2003

An incoherent children's adventure based on a popular video game.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 20, 2003

The grim view of the future is nothing new, the special effects involve poorly used matte paintings and pyrotechnics, and the actors do far too many double-takes.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 11, 2003

While clumsily paced by first-time director Jim Yukich and amateurishly acted, the picture does take place against the imaginative backdrop of New Angeles, the urban archipelago formed when the Big One crumpled Southern California.

Double Dragon pales in comparison to the game itself.
