Haha it has a very Snatch/lock stock and 2 smoking barrels feel. Looks pretty good from the trailer its very different from his other films

LOL ya, it looks somewhat entertaining. I think I will see it or rent it if/when it comes out. Taking a stab at his career in a comedic way,and he looks like he can do that owen wilson type comedic act. Though it is a VanDamme movie so I will reserve judgement until I see it,though Kudos to JCVD for trying to get at least one more hit...

 

[Asteroid-Man]

AWESOME! I wanna watch this! And the beauty is I won't need to read the subtitles

 

[Jackasscoley15]

Holy balls, when did JC get some acting chops? He looks great in this!

 

[Dark Donnie]

haha...I actually think it looks good.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

I always thought Van Damme had talent in him he just needed the right film. From what I heard too this film has been getting rave reviews from those who have seen it.

 

[BizarroAids]

Haha, that movie looks great. I'll go see it, just to see JCVD's real acting ability.t:

 

[Lazlo Panaflex]

Because of his accent I tended to think that people could only see him in action roles.

 

[The Dude]

I love the concept. If to have a true sence of humor is to be able to laugh at one's self, I bet Jean Claude is in histerics right now.

 

[nocomics]

I hope this does well for him,he needs a hit,and I think deserves it. I think at one time him and Steven Segal were in competition seeing who puts out the most B-movies or the most suckiest movies.

This actually looks funny and pretty good. And I'm a person who hates Van Damme.

[Retroman]

Just watched the trailer for this and i thought it looked surpisingly good. Unlike anything i've seen Van Damme do before really.

 

[SuBe]

That looks great. I never liked Jean Claude Van Damme, but that looks like a really good movie.

i just watched it and damn it was very very good.. the acting was nice and the movie was suprisingly dark for comedy.. and there is absolutely amazing 6-minute monoloque in the middle of the film where action stops and Van Damme talks about his career and his drug use and other things. Very Very good movie and there were even some talk that maybe this could get a nomination for the best foreign movie oscar ?

some quotes of the monoloque


"What about drugs? When you got it all,you travel the world.When you've been in all the hotels,you're the prima donna of the penthouse.And in all hotels the world over, traveling,you want something more.And because of a woman...Well, because of love,I tried something and I got hooked.Van Damme, the beast,the tiger in a cage,the "Bloodsport"man got hooked.I was wasted mentally and physically."

"I went from poor to rich and thought, why aren't we all like me.Why all the privileges?I'm just a regular guy.It makes me sick to see people...who don't have what I've got.Knowing that they have qualities, too. Much more than I do! It's not my fault if I was cut out to be a star. I asked for it. I asked for it, really believed in it. When you're 13,you believe in your dream. Well, it came true for me. But I still ask myself today what I've done on this earth. Nothing! I've done nothing!"


i'd give it 4,5/5 it was sad,funny,exciting,dark,and hell he even throw a few roundhouse kicks.
