JCVD (2008)
10/10
Great return of Jean-Claude Van Damme
5 February 2009
Actually, I don't even know how to start this review, because it's a really unusual film, especially for Jean-Claude Van Damme. Van Damme is playing (parodying?) himself, and some facts in this film are true but it's still a fictional story. It kinda reminds me ...And Justice for All. with Al Pacino, because it left me wondering how much of this should be taken seriously. Many scenes were clearly just a parody, but sometimes it seemed that what Van Damme is saying is coming from a heart. It's a little odd but still a great movie. It's bringing back Jean-Claude Van Damme's popularity and it should also start a brand new level in his carrier, in my opinion, Jean-Claude Van Damme is a symbol of action movies and in future, he will be like Clint Eastwood or something like that. If you are a fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme, then you should watch this movie. By the way - though it's different Van Dammes film, it still has some great fighting scenes.
