Review of JCVD (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 21 Nov 2008

If not for a third act that starts to fall asleep on itself, this would be in a walk the best-written satire of 2008…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Jeff Shannon (255) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 21 Nov 2008

There's something seductively clever about the way French director and co-writer Mabrouk El Mechri has fractured chronology (à la Pulp Fiction)…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Tricia Olszewski (442) for Washington City Paper (500) on 21 Nov 2008

A generally odd project: The balance of pathos and humor never seems quite right, and the end is as puzzling as any of the rest…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Marcom. (7) on 20 Nov 2008

I grew up watching JCVD in movies like, Blood Sport,…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By J.r. Jones (1,066) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 19 Nov 2008

This functions perfectly well as a Van Damme vehicle, but it's also a funny and poignant look at a man trapped by his own ridiculous reputation…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Rob Salem (22) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 14 Nov 2008

The film's odd conceit is its primary strength, with Van Damme in a nakedly honest, bravely candid turn that for the first time in his career…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By J. R. Jones (1,337) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 14 Nov 2008

Written and directed by Mabrouk El Mechri, this functions perfectly well as a Van Damme vehicle, but it's also a funny and poignant look at…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 14 Nov 2008

Mix in a bit of Hollywood satire, Fellini-esque commentary and a bit of self-mocking reflection and you've got one of the more entertaining…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Cynthia Fuchs (1,328) for PopMatters (2,617) on 14 Nov 2008

Playing a character based on himself, or more likely, the self that has appeared on countless tabloid and fan mag covers, Van Damme here invites…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Peter Sobczynski (1,159) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 13 Nov 2008

It exudes the kind of strange fascination that keeps you glued to the screen just to see what could possibly come up next…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Amy Nicholson (961) for I.E. Weekly (269) on 13 Nov 2008

El Mechri really thinks he is making Citizen Kane in his non-linear deconstruction of a mythical man. He hasn't, but it's a heck of a curio…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Marco Cerritos (19) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 10 Nov 2008

A playful story that has no problem eviscerating its lead actor for comedic effect…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Ursula (3) on 07 Nov 2008

Happy to see that this rare treat is released in the US! I saw it here in Germany at the Fantasy Filmfest and enjoyed it enormously…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Jizzle (2) on 07 Nov 2008

Histerical and moving. It forces audiences to take Van Damme seriously for the first time in his storied career…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Geoff Berkshire (602) for Metromix.com (1,085) on 06 Nov 2008

Mines the life of a minor celebrity for equal parts comedy and pathos, and scores on both counts…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 06 Nov 2008

as surprising a reconsideration of an action hero as one is likely to find…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Simon Abrams (730) for New York Press (561) on 05 Nov 2008

For such a self-deluded vanity project, Van Damme brings the film to life, serving up a terrific lead performance…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By David Fear (910) for Time Out (7,510) on 05 Nov 2008

Part career-resuscitation attempt and part serious cry for help, Mabrouk El Mechri's Damme Day Afternoon rebranding effort is an incredibly…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Cole Smithey (1,865) for ColeSmithey.com (1,853) on 17 Oct 2008

Van Damme gives a touching direct-to-camera monologue about his career and outlook on life that is the film's virtuosic centerpiece…

Review of JCVD (2008)

By Prairie Miller (985) for NewsBlaze (855) on 06 Oct 2008
