Viewing Notes

JCVD RIDES A FUCKING MOTORCYCLE ON TOP OF A MOVING TRAIN!!

So this is not a good movie. Laughable actually. But I enjoyed this one more than most of Van Damme’s other ‘00s output. Maybe because it knows what it is and just goes for it. So ridiculous but so damn entertaining as it continues to get more preposterous as it rolls along. Immediately out of the gate it wants us to believe that Laura Harring is a badass thief. Hahahahahaha!

Seriously I expected this to be terrible (it is) but not in such a delightful way. So cornball but I dig it. Had I known Laura Harring was in this I definitely would’ve bumped it in my JCVD project.
