Or: Die Hard on ice. You know the drill: It's the seventh game of the Stanley Cup finals. Extortionists take hostages, including the vice president, and demand the transfer of more than one billion dollars in frozen government assets. Jean-Claude Van Damme is a lone fire marshal who must defuse a series of bombs strategically placed in the filled-to-capacity stadium. Lots of action, but as in Die Hard, the villain steals the show. Powers Boothe shoots and scores as the suave, unflappable bad guy Foss. "I'm not sure if I like you," he tells one defiant hostage. "When I make up my mind, you'll be the first to know." Aims to please, but an optional purchase. (K. Benson)
