"Van Damme says worse things about himself than critics would dream of saying, and the effect is shockingly truthful (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" | ||
|
|
|
"A reality-twisting cousin to "Being John Malkovich" -- showcases a Van Damme who's sly like a fox about his own image." | ||
|
|
|
"Post-JCVD, we'll never again be able to think of Van Damme as just another kickboxer turned actor. Van Damme is an actor, pure and simple" | ||
|
|
|
"It's very entertaining. And Van Damme proves himself a brave, possibly foolhardy actor, which is more than Steven Seagal ever did." | ||
|
|
|
"JCVD may not be the first meta-musclehead movie, but it's certainly the most surprising." | ||
|
|
|
"A wonderfully absurd ode to star’s martial-arts moves" | ||
|
|
|
"This functions perfectly well as a Van Damme vehicle, but it's also a funny and poignant look at a man trapped by his own ridiculous reputation" | ||
|
|
"Inventive, insightful and utterly surprising movie. It takes you places you're not prepared to go: namely, into the soul of a performer best known for flying back kicks. Who, by the way, can act" | |||
