This is a film that will take many Van Damme buffs by surprise. It is not your typical action film but a surprisingly touching and dramatic turn by Van Damme.
He portrays a heartbroken man who sacrifices his own freedom to avenge the death of his wife. In prison he is subjected to taunts and violence from the fellow inmates as well as soul crushing isolation when he misbehaves or tries to assert himself. It is in these intense moments where Van Damme shines. His non-verbal acting truly shows his range and we experience his pain and anguish throughout.
A refreshing role from Van Damme.
