Review of JCVD (2008) by Matt N — 09 Dec 2009
This film, I approached with the sense and mentality that Jean-Claude was incredible for his past 90's action films with not much to his name in recent times, releasing half decent action flicks that travel straight to DVD.
This film changed everything.
Jean puts in a marvelous performance which displayed his true hunger and acting ability for every role that he has partaken, a point to which is included in the movie when Jean breaks the 'fourth wall' to engage with the audience for an awe-inspiring, touching and overall masterpiece of a monologue which most certainly epitomizes Jeans acting ability.
The acting itself is complimented by the beautiful nature of the film and the direction that Mabrouk El Mechri took the film with a plot that becomes almost instantly believable considering his status in his hometown, to which the movie is set. Without doubt, despite my other reviews, JCVD is my favourite performance of Jean-Claude in a film which I will ultimately re watch and recommend.
