I see every Van Damme movies close to there release because i always been fan of the guy since i was a kid. I am from Quebec so the french/english switches during the movie didn't bother me at all, altough at times some accents are very pronounced.
I will be honest, i didn't had a lot of fun. First of all for a movie originally called "The Bouncer" , there is almost no fights in it. If you came to see Van Damme spin kick somebody, turn around cause you won't find it there. There is a couple very lackluster gun fights but nothing to entertain you much in the action departement.
The movie try to be a drama and more about its plot, but i didn't find much satisfaction there either. It looks very low budget/low scale, i didn't care much about the characters and what happen to them. I would like to say i apreciate Van Damme taking a "different role" trying to pull off a "dramatic performance" but it does not comes out like that, but more like just another brooding dark character like we seen him do many times, in Black Water, Kill em All, 6 Bullets, Pound of Flesh and many more.
To be honest i much prefer Van Damme in lighter roles. In recent memories i enjoyed Welcome to the Jungle and Ennemies Closer because he seem to have fun in those roles.
Lets just say Lukas won't make it to my Van Damme DVD collection unless i stumble upon it for 2/3$ in a pawnshop or video store clearance.
I really hope to see Van Damme in a full action packed movie in 2019, having fun and all. Even if its over the top. Cause thats the roles i prefer for him.
