Conceptually pedestrian but decently handled in all departments.

It's not enough for Pound Of Flesh to be likable. Its existence isn't an affront to the God its characters keep talking about, but it's not exactly a reason for giving thanks, either.

The script endlessly delays the film's grungy setpieces with scenes of moral turgidity

Its script is terrible, its production values are weak, and there is a lackadaisical streak running through the film so overt that it borders on having contempt for its audience. Despite this, I enjoyed myself.

This is a fairly unremarkable film that happens to star Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Van Damme hounds will lavish their pennies on, although many may end up with a little less action than they're used to.

If you are a JCVD fan, this delivers all of the moves. Not the best of the best😜, but you have to admit, the man is capable. Story is so-so, cinematography is good, visually appealing and locations are great! Lots of kick a$$ action, a bit of drama and suspense and a pinch of intrigue. Other than that, not much

One of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Its ok for a brainless watch. There is a farfetched recycled plotline with the wake up in a bathtub without your kidney trope. Basically this IS the movie Jean Claude is making at the beginning of 'JCVD' that makes him look back and lament upon his life choices. The movie is a little more retrospective than his usual stuff, but 95% of the movie is throwaway generic action flick.

I think most of us all saw the plot twist coming. It was fairly easy to spot early on.

Jean Claude wakes up in the bathtub without a kidney - like every horror tale from high school. And then...can't really remember. Just a bunch of driving around and Jean hitting people.
