Movie Review: THIS IS KINDA DUMB
Summary: 2 Stars
A CONVICT [VAN DAMME] ON HIS WAY TO JAIL, ESCAPES WITH THE HELP OF HIS BEST FRIEND. SOON, HE MEETS A WOMAN [ROSANNA ARQUETTE] AND HE TRYS TO HELP SAVE HER LAND. THIS MOVIE DEFINITELY DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH EXCITEMENT AND IT SEEMS TO RUN OUT OF STEAM PRETTY EARLY. MOST OF THE ACTION IS BORING TO WATCH AND THE STORY IS WEAK. DIEHARD FANS OF VAN DAMME SHOULD LIKE THIS A LOT. OTHERS, BEWARE.Movie Review: One of Van Damme's worst...
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm a huge fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme. Heck, I own all his movies! Sadly, that includes this one, which I saw a couple days ago and am still recovering from. It's not as bad as "Cyborg." It's not even close to that level of badness, but it is definitely not worth paying for. The biggest reason this just isn't very good is that our hero is an escaped convict. Now, we get the feeling he was doing more than your average prisoner to get sent to a maximum security prison, probably like the one in "Death Warrant," another JCVD movie that is worse than this. "Nowhere to Run" begins with his daring getaway which is actually kind of cool, but then gets a little creepy when our "hero" befriends a small boy. Soon, he's hanging around his house and protecting the boy's family from rich evildoers who couldn't and don't stand a chance against Van Damme. The movie's lame, predictable, and at times tasteless. There are gratuitous nudity scenes abound, one including two children talking to Van Damme while he's bathing in a river. The action is spread far apart from itself as the screenwriters obviously became more concerned with the story, probably because they realized there was little action to fill the gaps where talking occurred. Sure, Van Damme has done much, much worse. But that's not to say this movie is a keeper. At best, it feels like your average Steven Seagal flick, a shame since Van Damme is clearly a much better actor than the pony-tailed giant. This said, I'd still throw it at the bottom of the barrel with other Chuck Norris/Steven Seagal/early Van Damme flicks.
