During this time, he sees a programme on a computer screen, telling him he has a job to kill a man by the name of Edgar Friendly. He discovers this when he knows the password to release him from his cuffs, easily kills many workers at the cyro-prison, is familiar with futuristic technology and overpowers several SAPD officers. Phoenix was released from his confinement with a rehabilitation program that gave him astounding new skills and extra strength to help him adapt to the future. In 2032, 36 years later, society changed drastically, with San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles being merged in one large so-called utopia named San Angeles. But he framed Spartan for not caring about the hostages and as a result of Spartan too was wrongly accused of killing the civilians, and the two were frozen in a cryogenic prison, remaining there for years.

John Spartan interfered, he set alight tanks of C4 and after a brief fight with Spartan, he was captured and taken away before the building was blown to pieces. In his last crime in 1996, he made over 30 bus passengers hostage for trespassing at his building, but when LAPD officer Sgt. He declared his own kingdom in South Central within Los Angeles, having all other street gangs, drug dealers and even some murderers under his control. I give this movie 7 out of 10.Phoenix was a wanted criminal responsible for many crimes like theft, kidnapping, robbery, and murder. But it`s definetly worth to rent it for an action-fan. The whole plot is very silly, there are huge logical gaps and holes in the story and Mickey Rourke is far from convincing as a villain. Double Team is full of well made action and martial-art scenes. Quinn is helped by Yaz, who is played by the basket-star Dennis Rodmann. Quinn escapes from the colony and goes after Stavroes for revenge. These agents/terrorists are too dangerous to go free on the street and too valuable to kill. "The Colony" is a place where the world's most dangerous terrorists/agents are sent.
Quinn fails and is therefore sent sent to a place called "The Colony". Van Damme plays agent Jack Quinn, and is sent out to kill super-terrorist Stavros, who is played by Mickey Rourke. Hark is excellent at directing action-scenes and Double Team is a good way for him to start in Hollywood. Double Team is directed by rather splendid Tsui Hark. He has done "Hard Target" for John Woo and "Maximum Risk" for Ringo Lam. Double Team is the third movie that Van Damme has done for a former HONG-KONG action-movie director.
