JCVD : 8/10
I've not yet watched a Jean Claude Van Damme film all the way through, but from what I gather they tend to be cheesy action flicks, and he is regarded as a clown. However, this movie depicts him in an alternate reality as an out of luck, washed up actor that gets caught up in a post office heist in Belgium. It's funny, engaging, and touching--the monologue about his real life especially. The flashbacks tend to be repetitive since they show the same scenes but with a different perspective, but overall it's a pretty (Damme) good film.
