Emergency Dental Treatment Saint Thomas Hospital
. Me, Myself and Van Damme.
imagine that if one of us told us that Jean-Claude Van Damme , the action movie star muscled old, rundown and virtually disappeared from the commercial circuit, including video stores, will make a new film, one would think that should not be quickly and the good man for too many jumps and somersaults (which, moreover, more or less shot, has shown that it is not the whole, by Unfortunately, Stallone combustible in its easily forgettable "The Expendables" ).
At least I had to think the minds that conceived the amazing and overwhelming JCVD \u200b\u200b , published in Spain by Cameo (remember that the director Mabrouk El Mechri , came to the project when it already had begun to take shape and the film was, at that time, a sort of "Die Hard" parody, something that The Mechri did not like, and that did not match the vision he had of Van Damme).
A man, immersed in the midst of a divorce, fought for custody of his daughter, burdened by shortages money, with a career adrift, he goes to visit his mother and without knowing how, is caught in a robbery. Immediately the voices, confused, people, recognize and point as (false) guilt. The man in the middle
existential crisis is Van Damme.
There is no place in the world for the stagnant heroes that populated the 80's and 90's party. At least not as we understood then. It is time to rethink who they are and what their place in the film world. Away from one to find himself.
This premise is perfectly posed and implemented in this disturbing postmodern exercise of great brilliance, the reality game deconstructed fictionalized, this movie within a movie, this faux documentary that goes from comedy to thriller, drama to action, and that is, without doubt, the best Van Damme movie to be conducted in full life, managing to do that we consider what would have been in his career if he had fallen into the hands of the right director. And it is that I can finally say that there is a Van Damme movie that not only excites me, but everyone recomendaríia.
During the footage of this cult film from the moment it was conceived by its director as well, we can see up to three Van Damm different, the star that was and is no longer, that the director wants it and that can be and, finally, a real twilight draft (and I do not mean false moment in which supposedly exit the script for talking to the camera in complicity, because that, of course, is acting as well). Three sides of the same person. Three Ts of the many that will shape the face of the true Jean-Claude Van Damme . A face the true, that only he himself knows and will know. As happens to all of our lives.
