Yes it does border on cheesy at times and the acting and one liners from Van-Damme (and mullet) are pretty ropey but this is still definitely one of his better movies. Nobody watches these sort of films for an academy award winning performance, they watch them for the action and being a John Woo film the action scenes are largely very satisfying here ( complete with familiar Woo staples - birds and flappy coats) . I liked the 'Hostel' like plot of rich people hunting the poor and thought Lance Henriksen was on good form as a memorable bad guy. All in all it's a good fun easy bit of action.

Pace of story
It was ok but important to read for other books
I'm a big fan of Dale's books but this one is just very slow with a disappointing amount of action that it builds up to. I like how he's thought about the reunification of Korea and it would be nice if that's how it happened (minus the nukes) but there's little action compared to a lot of his books.
However, it introduces a lot of themes and characters that become very important in later books so I definitely recommend reading it if you're going to read more Patrick McLanahan books!

Speedy Action Thriller
Well we have a remake here of an old Danish film. Not aware of that film but this is pretty much much an all out action, loud, big, crazy fun film. Mixing Den of Thieves with Speed kinda vibe. After a Bank heist goes awry 2 robbers highjack an ambulance to make their escape. Then we have the long pursuit. Despite the long run time the action rarely lets up with some great cop chase scenes and enough of a story to make it interesting. Not ground breaking by any means but you'll enjoy the ride.

The fight sequences were beautifully choreographed, and the action was solid. It was a fairly predictable in terms of the plot line, but I still enjoyed it.

A British comedy/action film about east London gangsters getting in trouble over two stolen guns. Very funny at times.

A good fun action film quite similar to the Bourne Identity, XXX in some ways as Geena Davis plays a ruthless assassin she never knew she was!
