Review of JCVD (2008) by Lee B — 13 Oct 2009
All that can be said about this movie is that Jean Claude kicks ass! Well, as an actor ? in this role. OK, maybe more can be said about this movie.
It is a brilliant script for Van Damme. And he doesn?t disappoint when given the chance to really act. Maybe it took all those drugs and golddiggers for him to learn how to act. This is a great movie. It?s not even like Tyson in Black and White, it?s the perfect demonstration and vehicle for Van Damme to show off his chops (pun slightly intended). It?s a one of a kind movie and really good production, editing, acted, everything.
This is a very simple movie with a very simple premise. If you don?t know Van Damme, it doesn't quite work. Or I don't think it will work. I, for one, can say that I?ve actually seen Van Damme movies in theatres. And that made the movie all that much better.
