 Rating: - A return to JCVD's roots - Roundhouse NirvanaThe Jean Claude Van Damme Review Matrix (JCVD-RM) 1. Who is he? Edward Garrotte, murder victims he burns. Nicknamed is "The Torch", his alias well earned. His hair has been used, for the DNA. A Replicant is made, to save the day. 2. Which family member/friend must be avenged? His mother? Himself? This part is hazy. Suffice to say, the setup is crazy. 3. Does he take his shirt off? When born as "Replicant", it's all for show. Think Keanu, Matrix, without the "Whoa". ... Read More Rating:  - Amazing Performance by Van DammeJC Van Damme was my favorite action star when I was younger. Before Crouching Tiger and Rumble in the Bronx started the neo-Chinese martial arts movie invasion, Van Damme was king. I watched him get sidelined, disappear for a while, then release movies right to DVD. Replicant should change all that. JC has remained in top form physically, and even improved as an actor. I am not joking when I say he should have gotten an Oscar nod for his dual role in this film. If you can ... Read More Rating: - my favorite of the more recenet van damme filmsReplicant is probably the most complete Van Damme movie made. It has everything from an enjoyable and well paced plot, solid characters with pretty good acting, and wonderful action scenes. This is not the first movie to have 2 Van Damme main characters. Double Impact was actually the first, but unlike that film, the two in Replicant are actually much more different and are pretty much enemies for the most part. The first Van Damme character we are introudced to is the villain, and Van ... Read More Rating: - Excellent return to form for Van Damme!Absolutely amazing. I mean, the guy had been written off for so long, I really didn't have many expectations for this movie, but it was a surprise and a half. The GOOD kind, too. Ringo Lam also directed the tepid Van Damme film "Maximum Risk", but at least the fight scenes showed panache. You'll find this film mirrors "The Sixth Day" (if for no other reason but that Michael Rooker stars in both), and actually beats it for sheer watchability. It's a lot of fun to see Van Damme ... Read More Rating: - GENETICALLY YOURSREPLICANT as indicated in the Amazon review is a surprisingly good movie. Jean Claude van Damme gives one of his most convincing performances in two roles: a slimy serial killer called the Torch who has been murdering mothers and their babies, and as his genetic double, a kind of childlike replicant. The clone was done in order to try and retrace the movements of the real Torch, but also as a governmental experiment to initiate further plans for the future. Van Damme is repulsive as the Torch and quite ... Read More
