No Need to Run From This
13 November 2020
A really good JCVD film. At first you might be concerned that it won't follow his usual style (after the first scene), but don't worry, towards the end it gets ridiculous in its action-packed climax, to brilliant effect. Action comes in little bursts throughout, plus an entertaining chase scene, but his martial arts aren't fully displayed until you really want them. Some of the shots are daft, but I'm fairly sure they are what people watch JCVD films for.

It's JCVD at his physical best, plus no issues with his acting either. The story does eventually provide some explanation towards the protagonist's backstory, which is helpful as you decide whether he's really a 'good guy', but the basic premise is understandable throughout. Some really funny lines pop up, and the child acting isn't too bad either! What more could you ask for?
