Editor's note: I received a text message yesterday from my friend Christian. He's written a couple articles here in the past, wrote a thing or two for Cinefex back in the day, and genuinely knows his stuff. The text message? "I take back everything I ever said about Jean-Claude Van Damme. Jcvd is awesome." Since Jcvd is new to home video this week, I asked Christian to write a review.
Jcvd
Starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, François Damiens, and Zinedine Soualem
Directed by Mabrouk El Mechri
Rated R
In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve said unkind things about Jean-Claude Van Damme in the past. For example, I remember the time he sat in the row directly in front of me at an opening night, Grauman’s Chinese screening of Saving Private Ryan. My friends and I heckled him mercilessly, yelling, “Down in front, Frenchy!” though we knew he hailed from Belgium.
