JCVD. Jean-Claude VanDamme. I can't believe I'm rating it 3 1/2!!! It's probably the best movie he's ever done! (In my humble, not a fan of his, opinion)
It seems that it's at least semi-autobiographical, in that it's Jean-Claude VanDamme playing himself. You go through his life and really feel what that life must be like. (Or is it really his or one that he has imagined??? Both, I'm sure.) Until suddenly he's swept into a bank robbery and hopefully this is at least where real life diverges.
It reminded me somewhat of 'The Wrestler' in the basic concept of a sort of 'has been'. You can call me crazy if you want to, but I felt more emotion from JCVD's dubbed English than from Rourke. (Sorry) VanDamme really showed us that he can act!! He's not just a crazy action hero, fighting guy. Really a surprisingly amazing job.
I thought that this one was a really nice watch, even though I'm not a big fan of JCVD at all!! And available on instant view at Netflix!!
