Pilot

If you're a fan of Jean Claude, and have been waiting for his comeback (not withstanding The Expendables, where he didn't get the recognition he deserved), here it is!

He is at his best, with a witty script, and it definitely keeps you on your toes as far as plenty of stuff going on.

There's a lot packed into this, and the leading lady looks like his daughter, but who cares!

Jean Claude pokes fun at himself and adds dimension to this - I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'd definitely want to see him a bit more often on our TV screens after this.

Going into Jean-Claude Van Johnson I was extremely worried and critical. I am a huge Jean- Claude Van Damme fan but I'm honest enough to say he's made some real stinkers. I knew he could be really funny and from Expendables 2 and JCVD, I knew he has some serious acting chops. But a comedy series starring him? I was so worried it was going to be a Seth Rogen/Adam Sandler-esque comedy with fart jokes and bad puns. This is nothing like that, the writing is brilliant. I was blown away by the spot-on parody of 80s/90s action movies and of the current PC culture and current Hollywood movies. The writing is so smart… Thats what surprised me the most. Secondly, Van Damme is hilarious. He plays a perfect parody of himself, everything he says/does reminds me of the '80s Van Damme. He is absolutely hilarious and also they gave him some awesome fight scenes that are better than any of his direct to video action movies and showcase his vintage moves. Lastly, the show is masterfully shot, this could easily be a high caliber HBO series. Great cinematography, which can be taken for granted. Also, have to say something about the girl who plays his love interest, Vanessa. Man was she funny, she also stole the show. You can tell she must have watched a lot of action movies back in the day or something because she plays her role masterfully and hilariously. "He spinning back heel kicked his way into my heart." was probably my favorite line, she was fantastic. Everything about this show was fantastic, if you're a JCVD fan or a hater, either way you will love this show, trust me. Absolutely blown away, 10-10 rating. I pray this gets picked up as a series.

"TORTURE" says the guy that rates a movie like "DEADPOOL" with one star (Eddie_Weinbauer). This pilot is anything but torture. Combining JCVD and this type series makes sense, i actually don't understand why we would need to vote(on amazon) for this series. It should get a full season without any competition screwing with it's chance to be on TV.

If you want to know more on the why, read all the other reviews (except for that 1 hater i mentioned at the beginning). They're pretty much spot on.

I gave this a 10/10 because some haters might give it a 1/10. But to be fair if you're not a JCVD fan it's a 7/10. And if you are it's a 8/10.

I'm just writing a review here because i'm bored today. I've wrote 1 review before because usually i read other peoples reviews and usually there are a couple reviews i totally agree with, so imo there's no reason to repeat what has already been said.

Unfortunately I don't write movie reviews very often, If i like a movie, I watch it till the end, if I don't - I stop it at the point where it gets really boring and move to something else. However, in this case, I was really disappointed when the pilot episode ended all of a sudden because I honestly want to see some more! This is the best JCVD so far ! I've watched all of his nineties movies at that time, but comparing with the latest block buster action movies available these days, they are just outdated. So if you still want to do what you do best, like JCVD, these days, you just have to have fun at the old stunts :) Simply brilliant, I couldn't stop laughing from start till finish, this could be the best comedy series we've seen in a long time. It's action packed, funny, silly- in a very good way, so you can just relax, feel good and have fun which is all you need sometimes after a crazy day of week. Please Amazon, go ahead with a full season !

This film tells the story of an action film star who also assumes the identity of a secret agent. He asks for a secret anti-narcotics mission, with filming as the cover.

I applaud Jean-Claude van Damme for making fun of himself for this film. The first line he says is that he used to be famous. Then the weight lifting scene funny because he makes fun of himself repeatedly. That takes guts to do!

The story is light and entertaining. Even though the runtime is only thirty minutes, the film doesn't feel too short. It is the right length for this story. I like the scene where the people in the secret warehouse all gather around to read those pieces of paper. Jokes in here work!
