I didn't know what to expect when I started to watch this film, but I was very quickly drawn into the, often at times, confusing drama of it all. As a fan of his earlier films, this was so very different, and felt so ‘real’ that it was hard to tell whether or not he was actually acting.
The bottom line is, whether or not you are a fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme, this is one surprisingly serious piece of film that should appeal to a wide range of people.
Mr Van Damme puts on one of his best performances in this gem. . Very quirky in places which showcase the director's sense of humour.
JCVD
JCVD is an edgy, often funny mix of true life and movie life, around the personage widely known as The Muscles from Brussels. Jean Claude Van Damme brings battle-worn charisma and amazing frankness to the eponymous role of an aging, perpetually derided action star. He also brings the addiction issues, the bitter custody battles, the money problems, the lousy roles in straight-to-DVD movies, and the scrambled zen philosophizing that have made him a national joke in his native Belgium.
When he’s taken hostage in a hold-up there, all and sundry assume that he’s the perpetrator, finally gone completely psycho. As the media circus amps up, action guy confronts the meaning of life: can he kick his way out of this mess without a script?
