The players: Director: Mabrouk El Mechri, Writers: Christophe Turpin, Frédéric Bénudis, Mabrouk El Mechri, Cast: Jean-Claude van Damme, Francois Damiens, Zinedine Soualem, Karim Belkhadra, Jean-Francois Wolff
Facts of interest: None.
The plot: When Van Damme finds himself in the middle of a hostage situation, he shows the world a side of him no one has ever seen before.
Our thoughts: My personal experience with Jean-Claude Van Damme is fairly specific. I may have seen “Bloodsport” more than a dozen times when I was teenager. This is not because I particularly enjoyed the film (although I must admit that image of Van Damme doing the splits in his underwear across the kitchen counter tops has never quite left my head); no, the reason I’ve seen the Van Damme classic so many times has a lot more to do with laziness than anything else.

Director: Mabrouk El Mechri
Writers: Frédéric Bénudis, Mabrouk El Mechri, Christophe Turpin
Cinematographer: Pierre-Yves Bastard
Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme
Studio/Run Time: Peach Arch, 96 mins.
When was the last time you watched a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie? Hard Target (1993) may have been the flick that brought Hong Kong genius John Woo to Hollywood, but the Muscles from Brussels has not been in the ascendant in a long, long while. Van Damme, who just turned 48, belongs to a different generation of action hero—the hyper-masculine, death-dealing martial arts master whose lady-killing ways don’t rely too much on nuance. These days, all our superheroes, double agents and fearless men who race on dangerous missions to save the free world, yada yada yada, have gone emo. Matt Damon? C’mon! (Actually, the Bourne Trilogy is pretty great, but it’s a different order of Things Blowing Up Real Good.

PARIS -- French scribes were in the spotlight Wednesday at the inaugural Jacques Prevert Script Prize ceremony, presented by Gallic screenwriters guild the UGS (L'Union Guilde des Scenaristes).
The prize for best original screenplay went to Christophe Turpin and Laurent Tuel for Tuel's "Jean-Philippe", a comedy about a man who wakes up in a parallel universe where his idol -- real-life French pop star Johnny Hallyday -- doesn't exist.
Jean-Francois Halin took home the best adaptation award for "OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies", Michel Hazanavicius' local boxoffice hit starring Jean Dujardin as a Gallic James Bond.
Actor-director Vincent Perez presided over the ceremony, which took place at Maxim's restaurant in Paris.
