It’s hard to imagine that this summer will see a better crowd-pleaser than “Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In,” a nostalgic Hong Kong action spectacular featuring the year’s most thrilling action filmmaking.

Jean-Claude Van Damme is back with ‘Black Water‘ a thriller action novel which contains a lot of cliches.
