Movie Reviews of In Hell
Movie Review: Great effort for Van Damme...
Summary: 4 Stars
Although In Hell is nowhere near the best Van Damme movie, it is a glimpse of hope considering his last release, Derailed. Derailed was easily the worst Van Damme movie ever made, not to mention the worst movie I've ever seen. I feel somewhat bad about saying this, because I'm the biggest Van Damme fan (without being an obsessive nerd). In Hell had better direction, editing, music, and overall production. At first, I was worried because I had heard about the absence of Van Damme's high flying kicks. Despite my skepticism, I bought the DVD on it's release date. I watched it as soon as I got home, and to my surprise, the fight scenes were more than tolerable. In fact, the fighting realism was impressive.
Besides his stupid haircut (not the same on the cover), the only complaint I have about In Hell, is that the structure of the plot was weak. There was too much depressing emotion stuffed into act 2. It kind of made the continuity of the film a tad bit awkward.
Although many of my friends criticize Van Damme's plummeting career, I convinced them watch the movie and they didn't hesitate to admit that it was pretty good. If you're a faithful Van Damme fan, In Hell is a must see!
P.S.- What's the deal with putting different pictures on the covers of his last couple of movies? I understand that Van Damme is getting older, but it can be a little decieving.
Movie Review: sick, funny, van damme
Summary: 4 Stars
this movie wud get 5 stars if it was not for me bein a professional critic, i took an oath vowing i wud never give a movie 5 stars unless it totally deserved it, an example of a movie deserving 5 stars wud be any movie combining van damme with the "actors" of "Big Ballers", but in hell comes reallll close...the only drawbak of this movie is the darn prison scenes where sick, tuff prisoners buy "sukas" aka dudes to sleep with, n do it prison style...that jus grosses me out....van damme aint havin it tho, whenever sumone buys him as a "suka" n says "ill see u 2nite", he breaks the rules of the prison n gets himself solitary confinement....who says van dam doesnt have brains? well except where he tries to hang himself with a rope thats way too long....the best part of the dvd is the "makin of in hell" ...i wish mr damme wud make a strait to theatres movie but i think the mussels from brussels van damme will be makin strait to video movies till blockbuster shuts down...lawrence taylor is oh so wise in this movie in which he recites his knowledge n ends his thoughts with the word "bullsh;;"....actaully, this movie is dark, n actaully tries to use symbolism n teach morals n stuff, but its still funny for sum strange reason [ van damme , lawrence taylor, come on]Movie Review: Be Prepared for the Violent Nature of the Subject
Summary: 4 Stars
Clearly, this is one of Van Damme's best acting performances. He's not the usual pretty boy martial artist although he shows his street fighting abilities. He plays Kyle LeBlanc, an American, whose wife is murdered while living in Russia. When the murderer is set free for supposed lack of evidence, LeBlanc decides to kill the murderer himself. Then he is arrested and sentenced to life without parole. While in prison, LeBlanc and the other prisoners are used for sport by the guards and prison personnel. Prisoners fight to the death while the spectactors place bets. For the prisoners it becomes a choice between playing the game or standing together. For LeBlanc it's a matter of becoming what he despises. There are many talented character actors involved. The film is gritty, dark, violent and bloody. A full spectrum of people are provided. There are prisoners of all races and ethnic backgrounds. There is even a prisoner in a wheelchair. I definitely wouldn't recommend children viewing.If you ever read "The Gulag" by Anne Applebaum, you may want to view this movie to get a visual of what it was like in the Russian prison system. Just step back a generation or two.
Movie Review: This is a Van Damme movie???
Summary: 4 Stars
Let's face it, Van Damme has dished out some rather campy movies in the past 7 or so years. However, there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel thanks to this movie, along with the recent "Wake of Death."
"In Hell" is a raw and darker film than his normal material. Don't expect his stamped karate moves, because it doesn't take place during this flick. Instead, we are treated with gritty, no-holds barred rumbles.
To top it off, Van Damme begins to show signs of some acting depth. I'm not talking Oscar winner, but for Damme, this is probably the best work he has done that provides a sense of substance to his character.
A moment or two of akward cheesy-ness appears, but doesn't hamper the overall experience of the movie at all. Even if you are not a Van Damme fan, like I "once" was, you should give this flick a shot. Don't expect a masterpiece and I believe you will be surprisingly surprised.
