Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Leofwine_draca DOUBLE EDGE is a cheap Filipino action vehicle for Romano Kristoff, here here taking a break from the endless war movies he was churning out during the era. Sadly, it's as inept and slapdash as any of those movies, a weak imitation of the types of film that Stallone was making in American in the 1980s, with COBRA a particular source of inspiration.Kristoff not only plays a crime-fighting cop, but he also dresses up as a ninja for some kill scenes to cash in on the era's popularity for ninja movies. The direction is below par and the performances strictly wooden even from those actors who made a career of Filipino cinema. A few elements of excitement are generated by the non-stop shoot-outs and fighting scenes but the poor production values put paid to any real quality on offer here.
trashonline Filipino action cinema king Romano Kristoff returns as another hardboiled cop in DOUBLE EDGE. Even from the very first moments you can tell this is a shameless COBRA rip-off with Kristoff stealing the famous "You have the right to remain silent" line and then blowing up a gas station to kill a bunch of drug-crazed, robbing, raping, murderous scumbags! Besides desperately trying to be the new Marion Cobretti, he is also a ninja, using brutal methods to fight crime. An absolute essential for every self-respected trash cinema fan, DOUBLE EDGE is an obscure classic from the golden era of Filipino action! My source is a fully uncut Japanese import which includes all the over the top violence!
