    • Trivia
      Originally filmed as "The Exchange" but during post-production, Sony felt that people wouldn't get the subtle title. Sony wanted something that sounded more like an action film. A new title "Bloodstone" was selected. Sony even used this title to promote the film in several industry publications, but they ultimately felt that the new title lacked the urgency and excitement of a Jean-Claude Van Damme film. Ultimately "Maximum Risk" was selected.

      When Alain is fighting with Red Face in the fire in the beginning, as he is striking his face, you can see Red Face's lips are bloodied. However just before his last strike, there is no blood on Red Face's lips.

    7/10

    Parents always lie to their children, to prepare them for the way they'll be treated later by the government.

    This has to be the best Jean-Claude Van Damme action movie he has made. It has it all, and it has it in spades. This movie is 100 minutes, and 95 of those are pure action.

    You have great car chases through the streets of Nice and New York.

    You have a whole lot of people the Government is not going to have to arrest and try because they will not be around.

    You have three, count them three outstanding fights between Jean-Claude Van Damme and the biggest, baddest dude you can imagine.

    And, you have Natasha Henstridge in the bathroom making love and giving us a view we will long remember.
