  Jean Claude can act!

  by resdogmovie2

  No offense to Mr. Van Damme, but I normally don't put him in the category of "Actor", but after this movie, he deservedly belongs there. Similar to Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler, Van Damme plays a broken star looking for redemption, and from this viewer, he gets it and then some.

  Captivating Performance

  by film guru

  JCVD has never been so convincing!!
  
  As the L.A Weekly would put it "…simply put, it's a blast…Van Damme is a pleasure to watch ?funny and light on his feet.."
  
  Can't wait to buy it on DVD!!!

  Van Damme an actor??

  by CoxP9

  This movie far exceeded my expectations. The acting was far above par, not only for Jean Claude, but for anyone. The direction was very artistic and beautifully executed. A true insight into Van Damme's real life struggles and feelings. Bottom line... a great and aesthetically appreciated movie. Another interesting thing to look at is the similarity between this movie and "The Wrestler". Two "washed up" actors making a major comeback. This year has been a great year in the film industry, not so much in way of making profits, but in the quality, and creativeness of filmmakers. We are seeing a different kind of genre emerge before our eyes and it is awesome to be a part of. By the way, JCVD even made Time magazine!

  Loved JCVD

  It felt like Jean Claude put everything he had in this film. Especially in the bank when he feels like he's about to die and talks to the audience. You might not like the guy, but you can't help but feel for him. He took all his frustrations and all his grief and told us what it's like from a different perspective. If you're looking for the Jean Claude action movie of old, this isn't one of them. I think fans of his previous movies will enjoy it, however.
