Surprisingly decent movie. This is a later Van Damme, where he's visibly old... some action stars just kind of pretend they're still in their 20s but in this one Van Damme plays a character who has a past and has taken plenty of beatings and is just trying to keep his kid safe... And luckily Van Damme is just about a good enough actor to pull it off. This is definitely not a big Hollywood movie with spectacular stunts, but no way is it a bad movie or even a B-movie; the plot is solid and character-centric rather than action-based (though it does have several fistfights and some gun firing and a car chase), and the director puts in some interesing long shots and camerawork. The fact that it's not a typical US franchise film means you never really know how it's going to end, and the tone of the whole film is fairly dark in ways that most big films don't get. Anyway, if that sounds appealing then check it out.
