A Full Review of the Second in Command Movie

Set in turmoil infested Moldovia; a photographer captures the anti American sentiments outside the hotel where he stays in the Second in Command movie. As a response to the unrest, the U.S. embassy sends a military attaché to Moldovia. Guess who is the military attaché known as Commander Samuel 'Sam' Keenan? It is none other than the infamous martial arts expert cum actor; Jean Claude Van Damme a.k.a. JCVD. In the movie, he plays a U.S. Navy Seal & what have you extraordinaire; basically a very tough character (as usual) in the Second in Command movie, bursting into action to save the day. Oh Gosh! It seems like I may have already told you the whole story!

Commander Samuel (Jean Claude Van Damme) meets with his female journalist lover, Michelle Whitman (Julie Cox) in a hotel where the chaos began to unfold. A gunman walks into the hotel & shoots a journalist at point blank & other people too. Nonetheless, Michelle is unfazed & stubbornly insists that she continues to stay at the hotel. The hero goes off to the US embassy & tells her that he shall come back for her. Well, in my opinion he should have just dragged her to the embassy in the first place & pick up her things in the future. However, it is not how the story goes in the Second in Command movie.

Now Commander Samuel (Jean Claude Van Damme) & his compatriots in the embassy have to wait four hours until the Moldovian government's army arrives to the embassy. Additionally, the Marines evacuation & helicopter support unit based in Croatia was sent to the U.S. Embassy in Moldovia. However, the CIA agent in the embassy suggests for immediate evacuation & the notion is supported by everybody except for Commander Samuel. The evacuation plan fell into a trap & a bus load of innocent civilians were blown up in the Second in Command movie. Michelle (Julie Cox) is in a predicament as she realized a bug planted by the Moldovian militia was found on her clothes which lead to the death of the civilians.
