Knock Off Movie Review 1998

As if anyone really cares whether the plot makes any sense (no) but a lot of booty is certainly kicked. Marcus Ray (Van Damme) and Tommy Hendricks (Schneider) are partners in a Hong Kong business that manufactures designer jeans. Marcus was once involved in the shady fashion "knock-off" business and still knows people in low places, where he hears about a Russian mob plot to sell bombs to terrorists. Oh yeah, seems Tommy has a little secret too--he's actually working undercover for the CIA. It's action schlock and you won't mind a bit.
