Not your typical Van Damme film, dark and gritty, one of the best films that Van Damme has released in decades

Pretty decent slow paced action movie. I would say Van Dam is more convincing in this movie than any of his old 90's movies. Even though he has aged he has matured and grown as an actor. And it is refreshing to see him in his native element as a french speaking individual.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The Bouncer is painstakingly realistic and fully aware of its own limits.

If you're looking for a mindless movie that you're willing to pay attention to, yet not devote any brain cells towards, this is a worthy venture and you'll probably be entertained.

"The Bouncer" dreams up ways to give audiences what they expect without being too obvious with helpings of formula.

Rated: B

The plotting and action beats are a bit of a hash, but Van Damme lends it aged nobility in the title role.

Rated: 1.5/4

If meditative thrillers about aging heroes is your bag, then Lukas (the superior European title of The Bouncer) is the crime film for you.

It is too small to wow anyone who doesn't already care, but for those who have stuck with the actor this long, it provides a very satisfying entry into his filmography. In other words, if you're already a fan, this one is a must-see.
