Storyline

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! This fictionalized version of 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, but inadvertently gets involved in a bank robbery with hostages.

Think of it as Sunset Bloodsport with Jean-Claude as Norma Desmond.

It's fun as far as it goes, and for the most part quite well made, but in the end it's really not about very much at all.

RTThe Age (Australia)Mar 6, 2009

[Van Damme] brings a kind of weary dignity to the role, and a surprising self-awareness...

RTDeep Focus ReviewMar 3, 2024

It presents a human being, stripped of his celebrity’s arrogance and self-importance, revealing a broken man teeming with pathos and heartfelt regret. It’s a staggeringly good performance.
