Review of JCVD (2008) by Colby P — 24 Jul 2009

Pretty good throw back to what we all imagine it must be like for a washed up action movie star. Jean does really good with the decent material here and I can't really complain about a whole lot technically everything was fine this was just a bit slow and I found I had a hard time keeping my attention set on what was going on especially during the 2nd half.

I almost wanted to just see a 90 minute movie of the first 15 or so minutes with Claude all down on his luck and making crappy C+D movies trying to get custody of his kid. Maybe he doesn't deserve an oscar for this admirable attempt, but definitely should show what he's got left in his tank and put his acting chops to use on another worthwhile project - and no I dont mean a sequel to hard target.
