There are a lot of adjectives you could use to describe most Jean-Claude Van Damme movies. One word you won't find on that list is "touching", but I'll be damned if a monologue delivered by JCVD, himself, in the film's closing chapter doesn't tug at the heartstrings.

[I]Enduring Love[/I] may not have been what I was expecting but it's a rewarding watch. Not quite a touchy-feely drama, not quite a generic thriller. Just right.

Everything about it is pretty middle of the road and its entertainment value certainly isn't enough to make up for that. You can safely pass on this one and know that you aren't missing out on much.

A series of chance encounters with various people at the bottom, the end, of the world. It’s a fun ride, if you can call it that.

I wish [I]Shiri[/I] had been better but other than the North/South part of the movie, I’m not sure if the ingredients for major success are even there. That being said, there are worse ways to pass an afternoon.

[I]Push[/I] isn't a great movie but I'd be fibbing if I said it wasn't a fun time.

The filmmakers should be ashamed of themselves. The shot composition is sloppy. The special effects are barferic. The sets are sub-par. I've seen better ones at Halloween Nights at Universal Studios. The wardrobe is uninspired. Everything about the script needs a touch-up by a writer who knows what they're doing. And well, the movie just all-around sucked.

This movie was a lot of fun and it may be gimmicky but when a horror movie manages to be this scary it almost doesn't matter how it got there.

Can't recommend this though despite my respect for the lead. It's a comedy and the laughs just aren't there on a consistent enough basis and the story and characters certainly don't make up for that.
