JCVD has never been so convincing!! As the L.A Weekly would put it "simply put, it's a blastVan Damme is a pleasure to watch ?funny and light on his feet.." Can't wait to buy it on DVD!!!

Ive followed van damme for a long time and if their is something that all his movies have.. its a good message... in the sense of good vs evil... and in a day in age where the bad guy seems to be the good guy we need more movies that bring are old heroes back

This movie far exceeded my expectations. The acting was far above par, not only for Jean Claude, but for anyone. The direction was very artistic and beautifully executed. A true insight into Van Damme's real life struggles and feelings. Bottom line... a great and aesthetically appreciated movie. Another interesting thing to look at is the similarity between this movie and "The Wrestler". Two "washed up" actors making a major comeback. This year has been a great year in the film industry, not so much in way of making profits, but in the quality, and creativeness of filmmakers. We are seeing a different kind of genre emerge before our eyes and it is awesome to be a part of. By the way, JCVD even made Time magazine!

No offense to Mr. Van Damme, but I normally don't put him in the category of "Actor", but after this movie, he deservedly belongs there. Similar to Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler, Van Damme plays a broken star looking for redemption, and from this viewer, he gets it and then some.
