what kind of action?

I've been planning on renting this for quite some time now, being a fan of old school action. I was just wondering what kind of action does this offer? is it the traditional kind of action you expect from Van damage a bonanza of splits and spinning helicopter kicks or more like his new film in hell which shows more realism. just curious since i love the old school vandamme OTT action with spin kicks and *beep* though the fight scenes in in hell were also amazing, either way i'm sold. id appreciate a comment from you guys though.

WOD 's action scenes are more brutal like in Hell.The fights are filmed just okay.Mostly maiming blows,Head butts, and kicks.No 360's.Some cool chase scenes.And one scene(if your a fan of Resivior Dogs)that will make ya cringe.

Enjoy!

This really isn't under the action genre. Action is limited in this film with about 2 chase scenes, 1 quick fight, and a few shoot outs. Unfortunatley they're all short scenes but that's because this is more of a thriller / suspense, not an action. But I believe it was good to keep the action scenes short to keep the emphasis on the characters and story.

The bike chase scene was good, but everything else was just ok.

I did not like this film to be honest, the acting was bad. I really wanted to like it as well. It is nothing like bloodsport, that film was amazing. Van Damme does not fight as much as he has done in previous movies.
