In Hell has a very simple plot and incredibly poorly written script. The Acting is too bad that you can't continue watching. The camera angles, visuals, editing everything related to cinematography is very wrong or primitive.

This movie was a complete surprise. I have always seen Van Damme as a great action hero and most of his movie doesn't have any story. When I started watching this one, I expected same action stuff but it completely took me by surprise. The movie started with some action stuff but then on the real story evolves. There is no big surprises around but it was not all out action. Van Damme managed to emote well and the prison torture scenes were well done. After seeing this film,most of us will fear to death if we even dream of getting into a prison like this. All actors as prison wardens and inmates given the movie the exact feel it needed.Watch this movie without any expectation and you wont be disappointed..

I always wondered what happen to JCVD... Now I see... Wow this movie was bad! Not just a bit bad, but cringed bad...Yet the movie could have been so much more. Especially with a budget with 17 million. You would figure that somebody spent some time on directing or producing. The best actor was Lawrence Taylor and he did not speak much.I guess the real problem with the movie was the plot and how it jumped from one corner to the other.Let me illustrate, Lawrence Taylor... A single coloured person in a Russian jail... Yeah that is believable! What they should have done is taken somebody from the Kozaks. I am very disappointed because I had hopes for this movie...

This might possibly be one of the best films I've ever seen Van Damme in. I understand the legendary 'Bloodsport' remains the most popular of Van Damme's works but "In Hell" in my opinion at least should rival 'Bloodsports' popularity. The story of a man (Van Damage) who murders his wifes murderer in cold blood and gets sent to a Russian prison that specializes in torture, brutality and the usual host of atrocities that commonly occur at corrupt prisons. Through all the beatings, embarrassments, tests in courage and dignity, Van Damme creates an entire turnaround from the pushover that he once was. The film is not for the weak of heart, the brutality in this film is so strong you can practically feel it while watching it. That to me shows how good of a film "In Hell" truly is, it is very captivating, which is not usual of your typical Van Damme fare. I recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of Van Dammes films, and prison-related films as well. Good stuff.
