3 stars out of 5 -- "JCVD is a much better and more thoughtful film than anything he has been in before. Director Mabrouk El Mechri reveals the muscular superstar in a way we've never seen him" achingly human, self-deprecating, funny and even a bit weak."USA Today "[JCVD] aims for a knowing, cerebral mood, allowing its hero moments of moody contemplation, during which he reflects on the strange, lonely life of middle-aged, globally known martial artist."New York Times "Sympathetic director Mabrouk El Mechri creates a marvelous netherworld of ambiguous scenarios, and Van Damme rises to the challenge -- of acting -- like the real pro he is." -- Grade: A-Entertainment Weekly "[Jean-Claude Van Damme] is reborn, playing a role he has never previously essayed: himself, or at least a fictional facsimile thereof."Los Angeles Times "[T]hrough his unrelenting dissection of Van Damme, El Mechri adds real poetry and feeling to the mix."Film Comment 3 stars out of 5 -- "Taking true embarrassing events from Van Damme's life and putting a silly spin on them makes for a great ride of action, comedy and mistaken identity."Box Office 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] treatise on celebrity, a confessional for its star. It aims playful cuffs at his waning physicality, his dwindling career, and one remarkable seven-minute take even sees Van Damme address the camera to direct roundhouse kicks at his chequered past."Total Film 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A]n immensely watchable postmodern thriller....A strangely compelling collision of BEING JOHN MALKOVICH and DOG DAY AFTERNOON."Empire0.9422384
