Movie Reviews of The Hard Corps
Movie Review: Amazing acting from Van Damme!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't let the other reviews of this movie fool you. Some JCVD fans may be dissapointed due to the minimal martial arts scenes in this film.However, this is not a martial arts movie, it is a suspense drama movie that contains more acting and less fighting. With that in mind, I see this film as a transition for Van Damme who appears to be stepping away from martial arts films and stepping toward suspense movies.
Van Damme delivers an emotional yet highly entertaining
performance as a military veteran who is haunted by an accidental bombing of innocent civilians and many children by terrorists. There are some flash back scenes which vividly show Van Damme's inner struggle to cope with the painful memory of war.
Vivica Fox manages her famous brother who is an ex-athlete turned business man. The bad guys want to "eliminate" Vivica's brother by any means neccessary. Basically, Van Damme is hired as a bodyguard to protect her brother from the bad guys. That is where the movie takes a turn from action to drama. The supporting cast (including the bad guys) are believable. Also, there is a very shocking torture scene involving pitbulls!
Van Damme has truly "stepped up to the acting plate", so to speak.
I rate this movie 5 stars because of the gripping plot and as always, Van Damme shows that he is more than just an athlete & martial artist. He is a highly skilled actor who I see making several more entertaining suspense dramas.
