Conceptually pedestrian but decently handled in all departments. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Charles Bramesco The Dissolve 05/13/2015
1.5/5
The script endlessly delays the film's grungy setpieces with scenes of moral turgidity Go to Full Review

3/10
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. Go to Full Review

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

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

William D. @Williams0604 Aug 31 One of the worst movies I have ever seen. See more corkball 04/18/2022 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. See more 04/01/2022 I think most of us all saw the plot twist coming. It was fairly easy to spot early on. See more @jeroduptown 05/23/2021 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. See more 11/18/2020 Ever watch a movie with bad writing and acting but realise you enjoyed the movie? this is one of those for me. See more steve d 06/09/2020 A return to form Van Damme. Strong action and a bit of heart. Obviously cheep but entertaining none the less. See more Read all reviews
