Viewing Notes

One of the more dopey Van Damme flicks I’ve seen for this project… and that’s saying a lot. And dopey in the case equates with bad. Not sure what draws JCVD to such mean spirited screenplays but really loves ‘em. Instead of being set in some foreign country or New Orleans, here it’s out in the rural desert surrounded by redneck crooks and gangs. I get why Danny Trejo is here but I’m not sure why Pat Morita is in this. Would have been nice if they gave Jaime Pressly a better role. Just an odd, ugly movie.
