I am not a big fan of Jean Claude and thought he had his hey day 20 years ago and found most of his later stuff a bit corny as though it was coming straight off a production line but I am now having to rethink this.The action in this film is not your usual fake, unconvincing kicks and roundhouses but more in the style of Taken with Liam Neeson and is very well choreographed and not your usual sanitised violence.I have always liked Joe Flanigan from Stargate Atlantis - he has always been a favorite actor and he was well cast in this.There were some really cool ideas like the pen with the hypodermic - never seen that one before.This was a rather good action movie; much much better than expected. It seems Jean Claude has re-invigorated his acting career and his older world worn, chiselled face makes him seem altogether more real and less plastic than his old persona if this is anything to judge by.

The acting is horrid. Even the extras look staged and uncomfortable. There is no character development anywhere. The acting is horrid. The hand to hand combat is awesome. Van Damme kicks serious tush in his action scenes, awful in close-ups. Facelift much Jean-Claude? By the way, the acting is horrid. He is also awful at keeping his butcher shop clean..... Really? A rag wipe down?? No one on the movie set ever hear of salmonella?!? Hello!! Also, the acting, is horrid. Joe Flanigan is miss-cast as a MMA champ. Even with the scars and tribal tattoos. Nope, don't buy it. Although he holds his own in a bar fight. Once again cool hand to hand combat. The acting is absolutely horrid. That's all this movie boils down to.... Action. Entertaining, yes, but oh so flawed. Watch it again? OK but I need a stiff drink first. Did I mention the acting is horrid.

Van Damme is absolutely brilliant in this film. Yes it was in the vein of, "Taken" but 6 Bullets stands on it's own merits. I gave this a 10 out of 10, because I just didn't expect it to be as good as it was. I watch every Van Damme film and normally I enjoy them, but this one is one of his better films since JCVD. All of the actors were very, very good and the story was good as well. Human Trafficking is one of the sickest things on this planet and it's movies like this that inform people and hopefully, more people will do something in real life to stop this stuff. Thanks Van Damme for bringing your "A" game. It's good to know that even though you're over 50, you've still got it dude! Great job!

It's got the feel of an 80's B Movie. Also, the way it is shot makes it look more like a TV production than a feature film, but that could play towards its retro charm. So much so good, but unfortunately the script progressively deteriorates towards the second part of the film, until the plot takes turns that are so hair-raisingly stupid that it made me cringe. All of this is compounded by a cast that for the most part fails to even remotely convince in their roles. At least in my humble opinion, not even JCVD's decent performance can't quite salvage the film. The action scenes are good, although the majority of the good martial-arts stuff is in the first part of the film. So, beware, this film is only for JCVD die-hard fans.
