  The Shepherd.
  
  Bit confusing to start but had to see why the rabbit was there. Jean- Claude at his usual and predictable but still enjoyable.

  Surprisingly Good
  
  I have always liked Jean-Claude Van Damme, and so I was tempted to give this movie a watch after finding out he was staring in it.

  The shepherd
  
  Not my kind of film, too far fetched.
  
  Very dark and moody, which made parts difficult to follow.
  
  No real big secret in the story.

  You know what this film was not bad. I quite enjoyed it and it was worth renting for a change.

  The Shepherd
  
  Poor film, Was hoping for it to be as good as some of his early films. Some good fight seens but to cheesy and bad acting lets it down.

  Tedious film. I think I must have switched off and missed a crucial part as it did not keep my attention.
