JCVD (2008)
2/10
Utterly boring - and I'm sorry about that.
15 March 2011
I have enjoyed lots of Jean Claude van Damme's films and have many, if not most, on VHS or DVD. Not all are classics but, of their genre and by and large, the best are very enjoyable and the few poorer ones whiled away a lazy hour or so.

Not so JCvD, I'm afraid. I found it desperately boring and self-indulgent. It strove, I suppose, to be a reflection of where his life has taken him and to be, perhaps, more cerebral than most of his offerings - but it was really dull.

I would guess that the film might appeal to those who are out and out fans of the actor himself - and thus interested in every detail of his life. For those looking for entertainment, however, this is one to miss.
