Review of JCVD (2008)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 29 Jan 2009

Van Damme is so good, and El Mechri's storytelling so entertaining, that JCVD takes its place alongside The Wrestler as one of the unlikeliest…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Victor Olliver (198) for Teletext (251) on 29 Jan 2009

The movie is an act of image-exorcism, a preparation for his golden years…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 27 Jan 2009

A canny piece of autobiography that looks at the man behind the legend and the legend behind the man…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Katherinel (2) on 27 Jan 2009

I watched this movie at a screening at my school and was really impressed by it…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Anton Bitel (1,340) for musicOMH.com (45) on 22 Jan 2009

Van Damme's on-screen invincibility is summarily demolished, leaving us with a picture of a very different man…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Adrieh (1) on 21 Jan 2009

JCVD sheds much needed light on the humanity of Jean-claude. His performance was amazing-- easily up there with the years best…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Bernard Besserglik (15) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 20 Jan 2009

JCVD should entertain both movie and action buffs. Van Damme proves once and for all that he's not just a set of glistening pectorals…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Jonathank (7) on 14 Jan 2009

I was extremely surprised by how good this was. I was expecting something like a mockumentary, but it's more of a dramatic heist movie…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 26 Dec 2008

Van Damme says worse things about himself than critics would dream of saying, and the effect is shockingly truthful…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Victoria Alexander (762) for FilmsInReview.com (462) on 26 Dec 2008

Van Damme impressively takes the career comeback title from Mickey Rourke. It's an acting tour de force not to be missed. Van Damme bears his soul…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Filmcritic.com (3,164) on 14 Dec 2008

Even with a smart concept and playful humor, JCVD runs out of juice before its conclusion…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Chris Hewitt (2,086) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 12 Dec 2008

In many ways, JCVD is not much different from Van Damme's cheesier movies except it's wittier and, this time, he's in on the joke…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Colin Covert (1,936) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 12 Dec 2008

This is not only a Van Damme movie that will make you laugh -- on purpose -- it could very well make you cry…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 12 Dec 2008

In many ways, JCVD is not much different from Van Damme's cheesier movies except it's wittier and, this time, he's in on the joke…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Josh Bell (1,421) for Las Vegas Weekly (1,340) on 11 Dec 2008

The shock of seeing the Muscles From Brussels emote may have blinded many to the fact that his big comeback vehicle is a pretty mediocre movie…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Eric D. Snider (2,489) for EricDSnider.com (2,026) on 10 Dec 2008

A witty self-parody/comeback vehicle for Van Damme would have been easy enough to make; El Mechri goes the extra mile to make it a good film, too…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Jordan Hiller (219) for Bangitout.com (219) on 07 Dec 2008

The only story that matters (in the larger sense) is that JCVD is a phenomenal achievement, and not despite the work of Van Damme, but thoroughly…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Dennisd (3) on 06 Dec 2008

Wow! He almost had me in tears at one point. I was so incredibly blown away by his performance in this movie that I went to see it twice…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By M.e. Russell (113) for Oregonian (1,550) on 05 Dec 2008

Giving the performance of his life, largely in French, Van Damme delivers a soulful self-analysis…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 04 Dec 2008

If you know Van Damme's work in the least, if you have any sympathy for the plight of the third-rate action screen hero whose days come to…
