Though the jokey lines seem out of place, the somber tone of this 1998 action movie makes the political subtext more sincere and less grandiose than usual.

The last blast of the summer is an exuberantly cheesy action opus featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Rob Schneider as an improbable pair of gung-ho heroes.
Joe Leydon, Variety
Rotten
For hardcore Van Damme and Sparks fans only.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten
The plot is as incomprehensible as the dubbing, and many of the special effects are neither special nor effective.
John Haslett Cuff, Globe and Mail
Fresh
One of Van Damme's best movies ever.
