JCVD (2008)

Director: Mabrouk El Mechri (some French crap you've never heard of)
Stars: Jean-Claude Van Damme (Bloodsport, Double Team)
A bunch of French people you've never heard of
YesNoSoso: 0

The concept of this movie is one of the most original and incredible I've heard in a long time. Jean-Claude Van Damme plays Jean-Claude Van Damme, aging and struggling to find work. Fighting to gain custody of his child, JCVD suddenly finds himself in the middle of a bank robbery. I know, it sounds awesome, its just not. The movie has some cool, JCVD-type action (a lot of badguys staying still while JCVD does some ridiculous moves) but it really drags. The knowledge of its existence provides more cinematic satisfaction than actually watching.
