Fantastic!

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

JC Van Damme single handedly created the action genre with his flashy ways. Not surprisingly, he gets older and others take over. On his way down, he cought us by surprise with his JCVD movie, in which he showed more emotion and acting skills than ever before.Maybe there was hope, but alas, in all movies since, his acting is gone, but also his willingness. He looks and feels unmotivated. All that could be forgiven, if only the action would make up for it. Since this movie has JCVD and Daniel Bernhardt, I was waiting for one final battle, with all the flashy kicks you could ask for.And than............nothing. Van Damme lost his will to act, but also the will to fight. To be fair, Van Damme did one nice spin kick. But that was so obviously a stunt double, that it was shameful. After movies such as this one and Black Water, for me the Van Damme era is over.

So a Marine takes a job as as paramedic. He and his partner encounter problems with a gang. The acting wasn't big screen but it was close enough! I enjoyed it. The plot was good. I would say hell yeah, watch it! Good movie!

Some people wrote that one cannot expect "Hard Target"- like quality from an aged van Damme. Well, I agree that it's difficult to work with a small budget. A small budget film won't look like a Marvel production, period. Why don't the people involved focus on fight choreography instead? I don't get it. JCVD's age shouldn't matter. Fighting is where the film crew could score points but they don't. It seems like very few people in Hollywood actually get what a beautiful fight could look like. In the words of America's orange clown: SAD! Please watch some old Jackie Chan movies and make fighting visually entertaining again. Nobody cares about a story in a B-Movie. Not really, anyway. We, the old fans of JCVD, just wanna see him perform martial arts. That's it!

The film is a flashback from the memory of Suzanne (Autumn Reeser) an LA hospital nurse (filmed in Biloxi). She tells a story about how Philip (Jean-Claude Van Damme) saved her life and killed a bunch of people. We later discover he was after the Serbian Minister, a war criminal. The film includes his son Kris Van Damme as a bad guy Dusan who can kick his foot above his head as can bad girl Almira (bikini model Mila Kaladjurdjevic). The film is fairly straight forward until the last ten minutes where we get the twist which made the film worth a view for JCVD fans.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
