Review of JCVD (2008) by Edward O — 06 Jun 2009
Part autobiography, part thriller and all heart, 'JCVD' is one of the finest films I've seen all year and a rehabilitation of sorts for Jean Claude Van Damme. Remember him? Bloodsport, Universal Soldier, Double Impact? For those of you who are too young to remember, Jean Claude Van Damme was a huge action star in the 80s and early 90s whose career has been languishing in the.
. hmm, what's the artistic word for toilet? over the last decade or so. But apparently he has something to say about that. What a comeback! You've seen Jean Claude Van Damme before but never like this.
An absolute triumph. If this is his epitaph then it is a fitting one. Put this one on your list folks, an absolute must-see.
