A bit of advice:

Rent this movie. NOW.

:)

Jean-Claude Van Damme plays himself. In the movie, he's out of work, out of money, and he just lost his daughter in a custody case. He returns home to Brussels and has the unfortunate opportunity to be in a bank that gets robbed. The crooks, realizing their opportunity, make JCVD speak to the police, causing them to believe that he's the one robbing the place.

Seriously, for a low-budget indie film (that went straight to DVD in the States), I was extremely surprised by the overall quality of this film. I would much rather have paid to see this in a theatre rather than Transformers 2.

So far, it's the best movie I've seen this year!

I've heard nothing but good about it. I keep meaning to watch it but haven't had the chance yet.

I've heard good things too, but it's so damn hard to suspend belief before the movie ever begins. I mean, it's got Jean Claude effin' Van Damme in it, for cripes sake.

There actually isn't anything in the movie that strains believability. In fact, it's a surprisingly believable movie.
