New Van Damme

DVD Release Date: November 25, 2003

Description
Inside the most corrupt prison in Europe's Eastern Block, the warden pits prisoners against each other in fights to the death for profit. The brutality transforms the inmates into dreaded monsters. The contender is Kyle LeBlanc (Jean-Claude Van Damme, "Derailed"), who is sentenced to life for killing his wife's murderer. Facing the brutality, Kyle starts to become one of the monsters he dispises, but his savage rage may be what saves his life.

This movie has been getting very great reviews and is said to be doing very well at video rental places, hopefully it's enough hype to get Van Damme set for his big return to the american public in 'Street Fighter 2'...

Yeh i'm a massive Van Damme fan, he inspired me to learn the splits, even though i still can't do it eheh!

"In Hell" is a brilliant Van Damme movie IMO, one of his best. Solid acting, REAL fighting and great story. I still like his classic "Bloodsport" the best cause that was the first Van Damme movie i saw, BUT considering his late new movies suck (Derailed), this is a massive comeback. I rented this last week, now i'm going to go buy it.

Definetly worth buying IMO

9/10

Van Damme rocks.

Posted by chojin on Dec-02-2003 11:14:

heh i dont think his movies are that bad

this one looks good, my type of mindless violence.

i'd say he has quite a few 'watchable' films:

kick boxer -come on, this film is alright
universal soldier - i found the first one actually was good
street fighter - just for the comedy

and all the rest..........

van damme is a great actor and is hard as nails , i loved cyborg and hard target etc etc, some of the spin kick moments are great , looking forward to seeing the movie.

I rented this out back in October, and it was terrible IMO. Just seems like an extremely tedious low budget prison movie. His other prison movie, "Death Warrant" from the 90's was so much better than this.

"Hard Target" was one of my all time favourites, and I really enjoyed "Sudden Death" but since "Double Team" which was passable, the quality of his movies has gone further and further downhill.

Everything since Double Impact has been shit. Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Lionheart, Double Impact...those were the best.

I have no doubt this one sucks just as much as his other recent work. =\

It's true. It's a project thats being done with patience. I'm pretty sure they will use some rappers in it to give it a little spice

Jeez, isn't that just typical... The good-guy-in-bad-situation angle again. Just like The Fugitive...

i like Jean Claude....especially Bloodsport. But i still find it funny as hell that his own bodyguard knocked his ass out because he was being such an asshole.

First off Van Damme was drunk and he got punched by his guard. He even admitted that if Van Damme was given the chance he would have kicked his butt.

ffs, some of you people critise Van Damme poorly.

im sure you would tell it to his face, he played a good actor in hard target. remember its a film about violence and pain,

Posted by olafbj on Dec-04-2003 17:04:

sorry but after bloodsport and kickboxer, I just think Van Damme has sucked BIG TIME

Posted by Boomer187 on Dec-04-2003 18:17:

wow, this is the first time I have ever heard of Van Damme fans. I thought nobody liked him, although I think I remember him being big overseas.

Bloodsport was cool, although I was <12yrs old when I saw it. The rest of his lficks are filled with bad acting and cheesy action. And yes I have unfortunately watched most of his movies.

guys a turd IMO.
