Movie Reviews of Wake of Death
Movie Review: Van Damme's Wake of Death worth the watching
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a surprisingly good movie from Van Damme. The plot, a man avenges the death of his wife, seems to be recycled from other movies, but the camera work is really good. The film has a noir type feel to it and Van Damme, who looks really old, does a good job showing a man spiraling downward after the murder of his wife. He also does a good job flexing his acting chops in addition to his normal action muscle. He has put out some crap lately and it is good to see him in a movie worth watching. I recommend it to anyone who is a Van Damme fan or just wants to watch a good action movie. There are so holes in the plot and I wish they could have gone into his character's background more. It's worth watching.Movie Review: Vaan Dammme. Best Movie Since His Glory Days. I Want More!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this movie. I almost didn't rent it. I must buy now! I've been a van damme fan since he started doing movies and I must say that this is one of his best to date.
I would have like to see more action though. More body count would have been nice and more fighting specially at the end. I thought the movie ended too quickly at the end.
It's nice to see him play the bad guy just like in double impact bad twin. I think he fits the profile a lot better as the villan/assasin and not as the goody to shoes good guy with a smile.
Give me more evil van damme! That's right evil!!!!
Movie Review: HE'S BACK
Summary: 4 Stars
Van Damme has a good movie here. Be ready for some violence though there is a scene where his cohorts torture a guy to death thats pretty bad. Van Damme seems to be acting alot better though. The thrust of the movie has his son being kidnapped by a hong kong kingpin. JCVD has his daughter and he wants her back.
Van Damme is a mob killer in this movie. He acts as such when they kill his wife so he and a buddy kill them. Eye for an eye.
The movie comes across to me as gritty,dirty and desperate. All involved are bad and yet Van damme gets us to pull for him. Worth renting at least.
Movie Review: Van Damme has grown
Summary: 4 Stars
Now you know action/adventure actors are never highly regarded among the hollywood who's who. Yet after seeing this movie I've witnessed the growth of a superstar from one who just kicked butts to one who truly conveyed the screenwriter's and director's thoughts from the script to the screen. In other words he ROCKED and so did Yam. Loved the stunts too.Movie Review: glad to see the changes
Summary: 4 Stars
the muscles from brussels is unstoppable. the film stories are not cliche and in this one he isnt kicking butt by himself, he actually has a partner. i look forward to seeing his next movies. luc besson (writer of "the transporter" and "unleashed") can learn something from van dammes movies. mixing things up is a good thing.
