It follows the French detective Alain Moreau (Van Damme) as he becomes entangled in an international conspiracy embracing Russian gangsters and corrupt American officials, with various parties after his life because of his uncanny resemblance to a dead agent. His only ally appears to be his doppelganger's girlfriend, Alex Bartlett (Henstridge).

Backup Twin: The film starts with Alain learning that he had a twin, and starts investigating his death. Duality plays a big role in the film's visual language, more overtly with various reflective surfaces like windows and mirrors, and more gradually with Alain having to pretend to be his brother and taking on an increasingly bedraggled appearance reminiscent to how he looked like in the movie's opening to get to the bottom of his death.

Badass Driver: Pretty much the only legitimately cool thing about Agent Loomis as he manages to turn the tables on Alain during the climactic car chase scene. Brett the cabbie is this getting Alain and Alex away from the Mafia, only to die in Alain's arms.

Action Hero: Alain is the traditional 80s action hero, who takes on the villains with extreme force.
