Movie Reviews of Until Death
Movie Review: Van Damme the actor, not the martial artist.
Summary: 5 Stars
Van Damme gets better with each movie he does. During the first half of the film he looks like death warmed over and is very convincing as a hopeless addict. When he comes out of his coma he looks so much better. It's almost as if he lost weight to make his face look gaunt and stressed. The before and after is striking and he plays his character to the fullest. Nothing to complain here about Van Damme, he's definitely the star of the movie and outshines all of the other actors. Speaking of the other actors, many of them forced their lines out. You can just tell when people can't act. The only other complaint I have is the gun scenes. Most of the thugs looked like they had never held a gun before. Timing on some of the people getting shot was off, the stuntmen fell a fraction of a secont too late, or too early. The gun fight scenes showed how low budget this film really is. Shoddiness aside, Van Damme fans will find much to like about this film. The mere fact that he's grown so much as an actor warrants five stars in my opinion.Movie Review: Until Death
Summary: 5 Stars
Anthony Stowe is a down-and-out detective addicted to heroine whose days always seem to go from bad to worse. Lowe is coming off of a drug deal, in which two officers were killed, and the primary villain, the drugs, the money and the surveillance tapes are still at large. He is also dealing with his wife, who has just informed him that she is pregnant - but the child is not his. After a gunfight in which Stowe comes very close to death, After being severely wounded and losing all will to live, His body gives up and falls into a coma. After an inner battle with himself, He gains again the spirit to live again. While on the road to recovery, Stowe finds himself in a very personal battle to make amends with his kidnapped wife and to take revenge on his assailant once and for all. Van Damme, I think has always been a good actor. And with "Until Death" he hits it big time, he gives a great performance. This movie it's more of a drama than an action movie and it has a great story. It is a must see, you will be surprised by it.
Movie Review: Van Damme at His Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Jean-Claude Van Damme stars in this bone-chilling, action picked thriller as Anthony Lowe, a down-and-out detective addicted to heroin whose days always seem to go from bad to worse. Lowe is coming out of a drug deal in which two officers were killed and the primary villain, the drugs, the money and the surveillance tapes are still at large. Lowe is also dealing with his wife, who has just informed him that she is pregnant-but the child is not his. After a gunfight in which Lowe comes very close to death, he falls into a coma. Whilst on the road to recovery, Lowe finds himself in a very personal battle to make amends with his kidnapped wife and to take revenge on his assailant once and for all. His boss formerly refused to employ Lowe as a detective again, but, the teenager Lowe paid to research for information comes out with nuggets of gold which would stop the criminal activities for a long time to come. This brings Lowe back his credentials and his old job.Movie Review: Van Damme Is Back !
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me just say one thing about this movie and JCVD's career...U-turn. I am one of Van Damme's biggest fans & I love all of his movies but some just outshine others and this is one. This film brings it all to the table I mean it's more of a deep emotional film that shows how good of an actor Van Damme really is. I can remember when I was just a kid watching Bloodsport & Kickboxer over & over again for hours & watching JCVD films all of my life but in recent years he has disappeared from theaters and now from store shelves but I beleive movies like this one & In Hell could redeem his career & maybe bring him back to theaters or at least the stores. Anyway this movie is a must see for anyone.Movie Review: Good Action Flick!
Summary: 5 Stars
I gave this movie 5 stars because it is very watchable and will not disappoint Van Damme fans. There are several flaws to this movie though (Van Damme seems to be able to walk around and drive pretty well considering that he hasn't used his legs in 7 months), but overall there's great action scenes, good looking girls, a decent plotline, and some surprisingly good acting. It is not the greatest action movie of all time but it does the trick if you're in the mood for an action movie and it will definatly not dissapoint Van Damme fans.
