As a loyal JCVD fan,I would go as far to say that this and Wake Of Death and Until Death,JCVD,and Assassination Games are Van Damme's better movies of the new millennium.This was not just another martial arts movie,this had action,drama,thrills and a heart felt storyline.As far as Van Damme acting this was a decent effort.Van Damme can act more in dramas than just all action films.I originally thought that this was just simply another prison movie just like Death Warrant.Death Warrant although one of my favourites lacks the decent acting performance Van Damme attempts here.And i believe he pulled it off and made a decent movie for the first time in years.You can feel his pain through the movie,and sympathise with Van Damme character here from start to finish.Marnie Alton from Replicant was starring alongside Van Damme again,she is a beautiful and decent actress.I feel she puts some effort in to this movie and fits her role perfectly.This is a good movie if you enjoy Van Damme or just want to pass the time.If you want a lot of blood and killings watch Wake Of Death.If you want action and decent fight scenes then watch In Hell.
