"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."
JCVD from 2008 is an interesting film. Directed by french director Mabrouk el Mechri, the film fallows jcvd not as the action hero but as himself trying to deal with all the problems in his life. When he gets held up in a bank robbery it causes him to evaluate his own life. Overall a very diffrent role for jcvd unlike any of his previous action movies, this along making it worth a watch as the muscles from brussels shows you that yes he can actually act! alittle over half way in he gives a long monologue were he emotionally talks about his life, and really begs for a second chance not only in his career, but with his life. It's a great speech and the key moment in the film for many. Time will tell if his new movie coming "Eagle Path" which was written and being directed by jcvd will keep the ball rolling for him, but from this movie it looks like he may have some left in the tank.
