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.

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.

This movie draws you in slowly but invested me a simple yet good movie even more so for a life time fan and a father of a daughter. Definitely worth watching

Something out of the ordinary, a film you wouldn't expect to see with Van Damme. You'd think it would be more action-packed, but it was a pleasant surprise.

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