Let's see what Jean-Claude Van Damne is up to in the world of direct-to-DVD. Synopsis: "Russell Hatch (played by Jean-Claude Van Damme), an Interpol operative who takes on the role of father figure to Jayden, the son of an informant killed in a routine raid gone wrong. Years later, Hatch finds himself protecting Jayden and his grandfather from a group of merciless gangs in an all-out turf war, stopping at nothing to protect Jayden and fight anyone getting in his way."  |

Van Damme is one of the very few actors who I will watch his Direct-to-Video movies.

And I say this as the world's biggest Hard Target fan. Sort of but not exactly and there is more to it than that. I don't think his best movies are borderline STV quality, but that at least the STV movies of his I have watched are higher quality than some of his movies that were released theatrically and are just higher quality STV movies in general. The other difference between Van Damme and most actors who go STV is that he is still usually the main character in them and is still interesting to watch in them. The same reason I watch Nicolas Cage STV movies. Usually when an actor like Cage goes STV they are in the movies for a few scenes just so they can be put on the posters to sell the movie, but Cage is often the main character in the STV movie he does and usually gives interesting performances. Cage is a far better actor and had a far larger drop, but the point is that as a fan of both Cage and Van Damme, they both still give me what I enjoy from watching them even when they are in STV movies. |
