1. Quality

2. Summary

   Really Great 4.5

   Undoubtedly the best career choice Van Damme has ever made.

4. Acting

   Perfect 5.0

   Straight up, I CRIED two times in this film. I’ve never witnessed such a tour de force of
   self exploitation and genius execution of Jean Claude in all my years.
   At the films climax Van Damme delivers a monologue/confession without a script directly into the camera
   that is the most touching and human delivery I have ever seen brought to the screen.
