Dragon Eyes (2012)
Strong violence and coarse language
| Director: | John Hyams |
| Actors: | Jean-Claude Van Damme, Peter Weller, Cung Le, Kristopher Van Varenberg, Edrick Browne, Craig Walker |
In a neighbourhood under seige, Ryan Hong is attracting attention with his vintage car, defiant attitude and phenomenal fighting skills. Rival gang leaders Dash and Antuan think he’s for hire, but when he takes their money and steals their drugs, they know they’ve got a problem. When Ryan is arrested, he meets the real crime boss of St. Jude’s square, Mr. V, the chief of police, who sees management potential in this talented young fighter. But Ryan isn’t in it for the money or the power. He’s paying off a debt incurred as a younger, undisciplined and angry young man, a debt he can never discharge except by trying to do good wherever possible. With Mr. V as his real target, Ryan recruits Dash and Antuan to fight with him, mobilizing the fearful and intimidated residents to bear witness at the showdown between Ryan and Mr. V’s corrupt police force.

Somehow John Hyams made a DTV sequel to a mediocre Roland Emmerich film into one of the best action films of the past decade (UNIVERSAL SOLIDER: REGENERATION), so to say that I was looking forward to this one would be an understatement. Unfortunately I was rather disappointed. The action was well filmed and Cung Le is no slouch in the kicking-dudes-in-the-head department, but the rest is boilerplate DTV. Van Damme's appearance is merely an extended cameo, so fans will have to make do with Peter Weller hamming it up in a fedora. It's not a great trade.

This movie was interesting enough to still show the battleground between good and evil doings in current days. A new actor working with Van Damme shows potential ....

The Worst, The Worst, The Worst movie I've ever seen. Ok the second worst, but still it is a waste of time...
Van Damme appears only 5*5 seconds anyway... This is not a Van Damme Film!

If you are a real Van Damme fan, you will like this one. If you are a general martial arts fan (like me), you should give this one a miss, it's rather dull.
