Summary

CHAMPION. CHARISMA. CHARACTER. These are the qualities that make a badass. Jean-Claude Van Damme stretches and grunts his way through Double Team (1997). Jim and A.Ron examine this raucous, nonsensical, and strangely erotic movie. Between the timeshares, sexy bathtubs, and the “acting”, there’s plenty of rip-roaring fun to enjoy.
