Directed by Mabrouk El Mechri

Starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Zinedine Soualem, Karim Belkhadra, Jean-Francois Wolff, Francois Damiens

Jean-Claude Van Damme plays himself in this crime comedy that opens with the aging action star on the low end of his career, fighting a drug habit, his daughter's custody case and now a major P.R. problem -- for he's soon to find himself in the middle of a bank heist, with the world looking on and the Muscles From Brussels as the number one suspect. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide

"This movie far exceeded my expectations. The acting was far above par, not only for Jean Claude, but for anyone. The direction was very artistic and beautifully executed. A true insight into Van Damme's real life struggles and feelings. Bottom line... a great and aesthetically appreciated movie. Another interesting thing to look at is the similarity between this movie and "The Wrestler". Two "washed up" actors making a major comeback. This yea " [More]

"I would be honored to be spin-kicked by JCVD. I would at least die smiling, I suppose. I was actually surprised by the amount of positive press the film received, given JVCD's reputation for being a bit corny. Has anyone actually seen this yet?
