That was your contrast.

Spoiler: Show

added to my collection. too bad though that JCVD turned down stallones new film, "the expendables." seems odd, but he stated, "i don't want my career to go down that route." damn same. would like to see JCVD hit the spotlight again.

very mild acton, but provides a great (documentary) story. 8/10

The twats on a tracker I'm on gave it a 3 and called it crap.

I said it's okay to say you don't like it(French New Wave certainly isn't for everyone0 but it's not alright to call it crap.

Is it a perfect movie?.No, but parts border on brilliance and to see the actor inside JCVD alone is worth the price of admission.

Not to confuse anyone it's not a documentary.

no, i didn't mean it as such. to me it just gave off that feel in certain parts. probably wrong choice of words.

I didn't think you did mr. nails.
I thought anyone who just looks at the poster might get that impression though.

no, i mean a lot of movies look like they have been filmed in a dark room with a green or red tint to everything.

is that to stop the cammer people from getting a clear copy?

I work for a large movie theater and I have received hundreds of complaints that most of the large budget movies are being filmed to dark. Even in the theater you have to strain your eyes through half of the movie. You may notice the greenish tint also. I was told by a film rep said that they do this for several reasons, none of which are to make copying easier. So don't feel bad.

You're in a dark room with a green and red lightbulb.

No JCVD is in a green and red lightbulb.

Finally saw it,
the only worthy part was his confession to the camera.
Concept of movie - 8/10
Realisation of concept - 3/10
Like the above said it was maybe too stylized, even with the very obvious outer and inner scenes which could have easily been combined.
The luc besson style underplayed the potential, Damme got used again.

Bravo.
