Movie Reviews of In Hell
Movie Review: Definitely Van Damme's best attempt at drama 9/10
Summary: 5 Stars
After the terrible Derailed Van Damme teamed up with Replicant director Ringo Lam again. Some will say come on Van Damme in a drama. But he plays it like a normal he doesn't go for a Shakespeareian performance. It stars Jean Claude Van Damme as Kyle Le Blanc & Lawence Taylor as 451. You start off a guy has broken into Kyle LeBlanc's house his wife was killed by the burglar & Kyle shows up & finds his wife he chases after this guy. At the trial he's found innocent Kyle LeBlanc is filled with rage he shoots & kills the man who murdered his wife Kyle ends up getting sentenced to life in prison. So he was working overseas in Russia so he'll be in a prision in Russia. We are introduced to 451 & Lawence Taylor has a ton of great monologue's. There is 1 guy named Billy the jailers have this guy they like Andrei & he just has his way with Billy if you've not seen this movie you should. Kyle sees what happened to Billy & he starts a fight with Andrei which puts Kyle in solitary he tries to take his life it is a slow build to Kyle's fight with Andrei & I liked it I wasn't board with a slow pace case I'm involved with these characters & I usually don't care for the art house film making but it works. Kyle has a beard & long hair he's been in the cell for a long time he faces off with Andrei it show how Kyle LeBlanc has lost his humanity he kills Andrei just the way he does & it is well done. We got this guy in a wheel chair he told the guards that Billy was going to escape while it's probably not the right thing he did result in Billy being killed 451 burns him to death. Billy tells Kyle before he dies "Don't let them make you something you aren't." These fights are done for money & entertainment for jailers Generals. No matter how big the fighters The Generals bring in Kyle refuses to fight them. 451 helps Kyle escape during the riot. The prison is closed 3 months later & that's pretty much the movie. Ringo Lam did a great job directing I hear he can be a pain to work for but he can take small budget films & make them look theatrical so he's probably a PRO. I mean he made it look more theatrical than Predators & Mas hitt y which should've went direct to video. Jean Claude Van Damme he can do drama if his ego isn't involved. Lawence Taylor did a very good job he's better than a lot of pro athletes that go into acting. I do warn you it is hardcore gorey I'm not talking about retarted SAW BS. This is gritty if you remember that movie The Quest years ago this was what The Quest should've been. That waa directed by Van Damme & you can tell his ego was involved it wasn't good. I promise I'll do a 2nd round of JCVD reviews & bury The Quest. This was a recommendation so I recommend it too.
Summary of In Hell
Inside the most corrupt prison in Europe's Eastern Block, the warden pits prisoners against each other in fights to the death for profit. The brutality transforms the inmates into dreaded monsters. The contender is Kyle LeBlanc (Jean-Claude Van Damme, "Derailed"), who is sentenced to life for killing his wife's murderer. Facing the brutality, Kyle starts to become one of the monsters he dispises, but his savage rage may be what saves his life.Similar DVD Movies
