In recent years, Van Damme has shown his interest in Central Europe: Assassination Games 2011 was shot in Romania, this movie in Moldova; they are both relatively poor countries having problems with corruption and human trafficking, on which basis it is credible to create high-minded thrillers. The tensions are up high, events are more or less credible, and the very end is witty. Well done!
In 6 bullets, there are 3 Van Dammes performing: Jean-Claude Van Damme himself, his son Kristopher Van Varenberg (also decently, in fact) and his daughter Bianca Bree. The other leading role is performed by Joe Flanigan, but his character had too many clichés and peculiarities; for example, he became a gifted shooter within half a day or so. Nevertheless, the movie is a must for Van Damme admirers and others, who may have ambiguous attitudes towards him, could see it with open eyes and mind - Van Damme is really performing, he is no numb kicker or so.
