Michael Ledo This is another teen abduction/ Eastern European sex trade/ rescue movie. Samson Gaul (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is the village butcher who moonlights as a mercenary. His accent varies throughout the film. His son (Kristopher Van Varenberg) who works at the US embassy, sends him clients.When Andrew Fayden(Joe Flanigan), an American cage fighter's daughter Becky (Charlotte Beaumont) is kidnapped, he calls on Samson who is reluctant to take the case. On his last case he generated a significant amount of collateral damage that wasn't as funny as when MacGruber does it.The movie has a slight twist which really wasn't much of a twist. Monica Fayden (Anna-Louise Plowman) mouthing statistics in the middle of the film made me think this was a 93 minute public service announcement. In addition to beating up people, Samson uses elaborate high tech stuff. He is capable of setting up complex traps in a matter of moments. The movie "Taken" has set the bar for this genre and unfortunately this one doesn't measure up. Will work as a rental.Parental Guide: F-bomb, no sex, no real nudity. Women in strip clubs scantily dressed. One woman with large pasties...nothing we haven't seen at Superbowl half time.

Dezitall1959 The acting is horrid. Even the extras look staged and uncomfortable. There is no character development anywhere. The acting is horrid. The hand to hand combat is awesome. Van Damme kicks serious tush in his action scenes, awful in close-ups. Facelift much Jean-Claude? By the way, the acting is horrid. He is also awful at keeping his butcher shop clean..... Really? A rag wipe down?? No one on the movie set ever hear of salmonella?!? Hello!! Also, the acting, is horrid. Joe Flanigan is miss-cast as a MMA champ. Even with the scars and tribal tattoos. Nope, don't buy it. Although he holds his own in a bar fight. Once again cool hand to hand combat. The acting is absolutely horrid. That's all this movie boils down to.... Action. Entertaining, yes, but oh so flawed. Watch it again? OK but I need a stiff drink first. Did I mention the acting is horrid.

stokesy1012002 Why do cheap movies all ways have that same style of music in the background? I also hate it when the music doesn't stop, constantly playing throughout the film!There is no need for this, it's very irritating.I had to stop the film 30 minutes in because of this. I can't really comment on the film because I didn't see it till the end. But what I did see is that the fight scenes was chopped so many times. Surely JCVD can do a 10 second fight scene in the same camera shot? If not then he needs to stop making action movies. I hope the next film he does is better as I have always been a JCVD fan :)

Ben Larson Two Jean-Claude Van Damme movies in the same night might be a bit much, but it's actually one I have not seen.Living in Florida, I am well aware of the sex trade, and it is disturbing, to say the least. Seeing Van Damme take it to those involved was exciting.He plays a troubled man, much as Denzel Washington did in the great Man on Fire. He is in the great form we saw in Hard Target and Legionairre.He wins the day, of course. I particularly like the way he finished the job.Anna-Louise Plowman was one bad momma.
