Legionnaire. 1998.

Alain is a boxer paid to take a dive in the second round, when he doesn't he is chased and hides in a recruiting office for the French Foreign Legion, while the gangster wants him killed.

Even though this is a Van Damme picture don't expect him to be throwing a lot of kicks and punches, this is more about a war mixed with drama. Steven Berkoff stars as Sgt. Steinkampf who wants to break the new recruits and turn them into real men, usually in some films I have seen Berkoff in he ends up being a real prick, in this he is more of a pleasant actor to like. This is actually a decent film to watch with a decent background score and taken seriously and loosely based on what happened in the 1920s with a war that broke out that seemed to be forgotten about.
