Van Damme has done better films than this


Honestly, I did not find this film to be good. I thought it was quite boring at times and Van Damme turned in a more lifeless performance than usual. To me, Van Damme is at his worst acting-wise when he displays little to no emotion, like in this film and The Hard Corps. I will not understand how this film gets a higher ratings than films like Hard Target, Sudden Death, Maximum Risk, and a majority of his other theatrical work.
As far as his direct-to-video filmography goes, I think JCVD has made better films, like The Order, Replicant, In Hell, Wake of Death, Until Death, The Shepherd: Border Patrol, and Six Bullets.
If you like the film, that's fine, but I don't understand what there is to like about the film.

Its because of the lack of action an the focus on acting what people like about this is it focuses on two different guys an we see life from there points of view thats neat an then we see them come together its cool at least to me but I also like the films you listed
