I thought his performance was pretty solid.
Who ever thought that Van Damme could outstage Stephen Rea in a movie?
My only 2 negative points are 1. Rea, it was very clear he only did this to earn a quick buck. 2. The ending, (Be aware spoiler coming) Van Damme played such a bad character, and after his coma he became somewhat a different character, but at the same time not. Inside he clearly stayed that bad character. So in the end it was only normal for him to die along with Rea.
But no, this is Hollywood, they need happy endings, even if it doesn't suit the movie. nah, this ending doesn't make any sense.
