Deran Sarafian directs Jean-Claude Van Damme, Robert Guillaume, and Cynthia Gibb in this action thriller where an undercover cop goes into a prison to investigate its mysteriously high death rate.

Has the obligatory line to explain what a cop with that accent is doing in LA, an obvious conspiracy with minimal sense and race relations that are… a bit… special. Yet there is a certain degree of style and flair to the production design, lighting and stereotypes. Death Warrant rarely rings true but is often beer spilling exciting. Cynthia Gibb makes for a cute romantic interest. One of JCVD’s most muscular productions. AND THEN THE SANDMAN IS TRANSFERRED INTO HIS WING!!!
