Review Date:

A decent mid-90s Van Damme entry, now with a strong 4K makeover from Kino Lorber featuring Dolby Vision HDR. Flashy action overshadows unique characters, but fans will be pleased.

Peter Hyams’ 'Sudden Death' arrives on 4K Blu-ray, offering a solid presentation with well-staged action and unique use of an ice hockey arena setting. While Van Damme and Boothe shine, delivering engaging performances amidst thrilling yet b-movie fare, the release boasts valuable extras, including new commentary and archival materials.
