I think it has never gone so far in the process of deconstruction of a volunteer actor, a former star for many. Yes, I say, the now “Gobernator” did something similar in “The Last Great Hero”, but did not make it to be in essence a kind of attempt to convert its Figure on a character by increasing its more positive aspects.

Jean Claude Van Damme goes far beyond that. During the projection does not leave the viewer begins to wonder where the character ends and where the person, how much is really counting on yourself, how much of what counts is true or part of the script, and Van Damme it overboard. Makes the performance of his life, shocked and excited, laughing to himself with a tragic sense of humor that permeates the entire tape, and making the smile with which he gets to see the film for its bitter irony becomes a contained breathing in many scenes. Breathing becomes heavy silence at the height of the film, the monologue in which he appeared naked in her feelings and that is all cash game of mirrors that is handling the film, showing the person at the same time to her figure distorted on the other side of the mirror, a reflection that we can call … JCVD.

An experiment that will create school, a great movie that will probably not succeed at the box office because its protagonist, but it will become a film that will create enthusiasm in the coming years precisely because of it.
