4.0 out of 5 stars
Van Damme shows some acting ability in this one (3.5/5), Sep 1 2007
This review is from: In Hell (DVD)
as far as i know,this movie represents a big departure for Jean Claude
Van Damme.to me,it marks the first time he has put in a good acting
performance.this movie is more of a drama than anything.there are some
fight scenes,but they are much more realistic and gritty than his past
films,at the one i have seen.the movie also contains some very brutal
moments,some implied,others shown.Van Damme's character is shown as
very human in this movie.there was also a point to the film,something
sorely lacking in previous efforts.it was entertaining,but also very
hard to watch at times.if you are expecting over the top fights and
stunts,you won't find it here.instead you will find what seems to me to
be a fairly accurate portrayal of life in prison,and the horrors that
occur there.for me "In Hell" is a strong 3.5/5 based largely on its
realism and Van Damme' heart wrenching performance.
