  Good movie
  
  Excellent movie well worth a rent, Van Damme is excellent, and this film shows that he can actually act! Also an interesting premise for a movie.

  Qwerky & Funny
  
  Qwerky, some action, funny, self deprecating and whilst not what was expected throroughly enjoyable. Anyone giving a low rating may have missed the point.
