A somewhat different than usual story. Noteworthy is the performance of JCVD here, he does not speak, but his expressions are seriously another level. He has finally transitioned to more mature acting now, so do not expect much action, but a lot of expressions that seriously convey the message. Let's be clear here, acting without speaking is difficult. The story of the movie, as said, is different but reminiscent of some sort of GTA combined with Fast and Furious. It makes for a good watch!
That shaky camera was just awful, and along with very short shots it ruined the movie for me.
Not a bad story, I liked Rincon(the boss of the bad guys) the most of all the characters, and van damme omfg he really got on my nerve, I HATED the character he played. The camera work was just shit, no other way to describe it.
Overall extremely poor.
❤❤ - What a waste of JCVD!
