The biggest fight of his life.

Summary

Being Jean-Claude Van Damme is tough. Sure, he is an internationally recognized celebrity (and possibly the world's most famous Belgian), but this star seems to have fallen from grace with a recent history of direct-to-video flicks. But the "Muscles from Brussels" is back! In JCVD, Van Damme plays himself - with all his foibles in plain view - in this comeback story of a screen hero who has been on the receiving end of kicks that are getting harder and harder to take. Directed by Mabrouk El Mechri, "JCVD" is a rollicking action-comedy that explores the nature of fame.
