| Action Director John Woo's first attempt at making a good American action movie fails with Jean Claude Van Damme (Bloodsport, Sudden Death) on board as the lead hero who jumps over police cars, punches venomous snakes in the head, hops on motorcyles balancing himself on it while he flips over a truck and lands on the ground...kicking a gasoline tank at a guy while he shotgun blasts it and soving a grenade down the pants of evil bad ass Lance Henriksen (Near Dark, The Terminator). Hey, when isnt Henriksen a evil son of a bitatch? Yancy Butler (Drop Zone) is Van Dammes love interest protecting her from the villains trying to kill him and Wilfrod Brimley (TV'S Walker, Texas Ranger) plays Van Damme's southern fried canjun Uncle who rides horses and shoots arrows with his bow while trotting off after his country house blows up. All in all, it doesnt become the worst movie ever made, its only presence if the style John Woo brings to his action scenes...his lingo in the art of which he creates. Also starring Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns) as Henriksen's right hand man. Ah, gotta love the scene where Van Damme has sexual chemistry with the snake while punching it out |

| Honestly, guys, just because you think it's a stupid action movie doesn't mean you have to give it FIVE STARS! What's up with that? Every kill is shot in slow-mo from fifteen different angles. That is not good direction by any stretch of the imagination for anyone with a shred of critical faculty. Van Damme is like three feet tall, with an accent more syrupy than a chain of waffle houses (to paraphrase Mike Nelson) He does not deserve to be enriched, complimented, or even *tolerated*. Even Hollywood is catching on to this.
Admittedly, I'm a horror movie fan, and loathe action movies. But even if I enjoy an occasional crappy horror movie (and that's about 90% of them, if I have to be brutally honest) doesn't mean I give it FIVE STARS! In the future, try not to be so idiotic. |

| Worth watching for Yancy Butler's smoky good looks, and for the rare privelege of seeing Jean-Claude, the Pustule from Brussels, punch out a snake (!). |

| Hard Target is one of the best action films ever. Jean-Claude Van Damme plays a Cajun named Chance who stumbles into an evil plot to hunt homeless ex-Vietnam vets for fun. The vets have a chance to make more money than they will ever make in their life - or die. The weapon of choice is the lethal but mesmerizing crossbow. Chance has been raised by his loving Cajun grandfather, played by Wilford Brimley. A young woman asks Chance for help in searching for her homeless father, and he stumbles into the plot. Incredibly clever and resourceful Chance has nerves of steel. He gives the very bad guys an amazing chase through the streets and bayous of New Orleans.
The action scenes, sets, and music are great. Woo directs Van Damme and his athletic ability like a ballet.
Hard Target is one of my top ten favorite films. |
