Someone really needs to step up and let Jean-Claude Van Damme know that the whole "killing everyone while he survives" movie formula just doesn’t work anymore.

This movie is almost as bad as Steven Seagal’s—completely impossible and with plotlines that are beyond comprehension.

Jean Claude Van Damme can actually act. I saw him hand in a decent performance in the regrettably short lived, satirical series, Jean-Claude Van Johnson.

So given its clear he's not just "another cookie cutter action star" why on earth then, can't they tailor a decent script, for the man? All we seem to get is a regurgitation of past martial arts, action films, from the 20th century, he starred in, only worse again.

Kill Em All 2 a case in … read the rest.

Kill Em All 2 a case in question. This is simply a platform for Van Damme's martial arts skills. Skills that are admittedly impressive, especially given the mans in his 60's. That said, everything else that makes any film work, like a decent script, with a strong back story and characterisations, is mostly absent.

Come on Hollywood, you can do better than this for Van Damme, surely?

In summary, a film that is little more than a showcase for Van Damme's martial arts prowess, minus pretty much everything else that makes a quality action film, well, a quality action film.
