Van Damme's done so many Action gems. Some of my favorites of his in no order:
Hard Target
Universal Soldier
Double Impact
Timecop
Nowhere To Run
Bloodsport
Kickboxer
Death Warrant
I definitely agree. I think he's a fine actor, maybe not one of the all-time greats but he doesn't have to be, he works for the kinds of roles he gets. He's done plenty of solid Action movies and has always been one of my favorites when it comes to Action stars.
I think NTR is probably his overall best performance. He put a lot of heart into his character there while still being the badass fans knew and loved. In NTR he wasn't just fighting bad guys, he was doing it to protect a mother and her children that he bonded with very closely.
