Movie Review: JCVC

Category : Blu-Ray Reviews

JCVD

Rating: ★★★★½ 

Directed By: Mabrouk El Mechri

Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme

Plot Synopsis:

Between his tax problems and his legal battle with his wife for the custody of his daughter, these are hard times for the action movie star who finds that even Steven Seagal has pinched a role from him! In JCVD, Jean-Claude Van Damme returns to the country of his birth to seek the peace and tranquility he can no longer enjoy in the United States.

Review:

Can a movie change your perception of an aging actor? Bruce Campbell gave us fans an homage movie with My Name Is Bruce.  Stallone brought back Rambo and Rocky Balboa.  Mickey Rourke turned in a heart felt and amazing performance with The Wrestler.  Who’s next? Schwartzenegger? Seagal? Nope.  It’s Jean-Claude Van Damme.  And he’s turned in the performance of a lifetime with JCVD.

Mullet Sci Fi: Reflections on Timecop

Peter HyamsTimecop with Jean-Claude Van Damme isn’t as good of a time as Hard Target, but it does have it’s moments.  Gone is the greasy 90s mullet.  This time, Jean-Claude sports a well-groomed pseudo-mullet.  Of course he’s clean cut until we meet the future Jean-Claude.
