Movie Reviews

Time Out - 9/10 by Geoff AndrewReuniting Hyams and Van Damme, director and star of Timecop, this spectacular nail-biter exploits their combined, if limited, abilities to the full.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 9/10 by Chris HicksHyams, who also teamed with Van Damme for Timecop, knows how to keep the action popping and there are some dramatically intense scenes. But it's far too sadistic.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleSudden Death is one of the best action thrillers of 1995. It's also the film Jean-Claude Van Damme has been building up to for 10 years.
Reel Film Reviews - 6/10 by David NusairAn especially blatant Die Hard knockoff...
Film4 - 6/10 by James JenningsVan Damme is at his butt-kicking best, with Sudden Death offering all the thrills, spills and stuff blowing up that action fans relish.
Boxoffice Magazine - 6/10 by Dwayne E. LeslieAn exciting if often predictable reteaming of Timecop star Jean-Claude Van Damme and director Peter Hyams.
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertSudden Death isn't about common sense. It's about the manipulation of action and special-effects sequences to create a thriller effect, and at that it's pretty good.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 5/10 by Rob ThomasGets a lot of mileage out of the well-worn trapped-in-a-blank-full-of-hostages action genre.
TheMovieReport.com - 5/10 by Michael DequinaWooden-as-ever Van Damme is no Bruce Willis, unfunny main bad guy Powers Boothe is no Alan Rickman, and uninspired director Peter Hyams is no John McTiernan.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Richard HarringtonThough the climactic duel atop the arena roof is patently absurd, it's also exciting as events go into sudden-death overtime, just like the game being played below.
