Plot hole: Kingsley holds the only key card that can access the control room where the Captain is. He only has one card. He gives this key card to Rhodes so he can go up there and talk the Captain into not taking the sub to the surface yet, while Kingsley and his men head down to stop Scott and Taylor. When they employ the help of Marco and take out Kingsley and his men, Marco bends down and pulls the key card off Kingsley's neck so that now they have it... only Kingsley didn't have the key any more, as Rhodes had it and was still in the control room. A second key card magically materialized on Kingsley's neck.

I rented this from Red Box.
So what's this? Jaun-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren doing a movie together that isn't a Universal Soldier sequel. Well... it's a movie at least. I can call it that.
So what's the story? Van Damme plays Scott Wheeler who is some sort of special agent who has some data on a flash drive or something. He and his partner are on the run and he gets captured, his partner killed, and him framed for killing their contact. So he's taken to this special prison that is a submarine where Dolph Lundgren is kept prisoner also. A place that doesn't exist for people who don't exist, yada yada yada. Long story short, he breaks loose and teams up with a couple of others on the sub when the other agents turn evil and he teams up with Dolph as well and it just becomes one huge plot hole after another.
The acting is horrible, with the dialog painful at times. The effects are bad, even cars that get shot up having no bullet holes. Even Van Damme's acting seems phoned in. The film's budget was just 5 million dollars, and it shows. The effects are terrible. And the CGI of the sub is puke worthy.
This film isn't quite as bad as the schlock that The Asylum shits out... but it's pretty close.
It's just a mindless action film that is bad even by mindless 90's action film standards.
The only person who seems to be putting any effort into the movie is Dolph and he enjoys himself... only he literally only has about 3-5 minutes of screen time. He really got the bad end of the deal with this one.
Here's my Two Scraps Review of the film.https://scrap.tf/raffles/15T28X
Mistake Status: Skimmed while rented. Plan to never go back.

Suggested correction: Kingsley only took the keycard from his neck to open the door and then hold it in his hand, so I guess he actually didn't give it to Rhodes. Just opened the doors.
Trivia: The character of Kagan, the shaved head guy with the beard, is played by Jean-Claude Van Damme's son, Kris Van Damme.
