Action Counter-terrorist Jack Quinn misses his target, Stavros, on the eve of his final mission. From there, he is sent to "The Colony", a rebirth for presumed-dead assassins. He breaks free from there, and seeks the aid of Yaz, a weapons dealer, for his final battle with Stavros.

	Media	Author	Review
		Emanuel Levy Variety	"'Double Team' becomes a marathon of destructive effects and stock characters, wobbling between high-adrenaline bang-bang and wan slapstick, with a lot of bad moments in between."
		Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle	"A mind-numbingly silly outing, full of gratuitous violence, testosterone-fueled goonishness, and [bad acting] (...) but lest we forget, it's also pulse-pounding, often hilarious fun (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Tom Charity Time Out	"This is rubbish: an incoherent James Bond-ish yarn distinguished only by its formal decadence and the presence of basketball's Dennis Rodman"
		Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"'Double Team' becomes an enjoyably decadent spectacle of gymnastic preposterousness"
		Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader	"[It] contains violence so big, loud, and frequent it makes no impact at all (...) There's zero chemistry between the two men"
