Jean Claude Van Damme's Wake Of Death is out today, in stores now!!
Some Amazon customer reviews:
If you thought Vandamme can't act, think again my friends. This is absolutely a fantastic movie That Needs not a Vandamme fan to be enjoyed. Let me say that i was totally blown away by Wake of Death! The movie Has a very artistic style to it. Jean-Claude Vandamme's acting is superb and without a doubt the best job of his whole career. Fantastic Stunts and special effects in the movie are completely convincing and it appears to have a nice budget. Vandamme surely shows he is worthy of a return to theaters! Way to go Vandamme! I look forward to more like this!

Van Damme does his best acting ever in this movie. He shows real emotion while at the same time being a tough guy. This is what makes this movie shine among his other films, that he *can* act despite his accent. The action and violence in this movie is great. The torture scene gave me cringes. I've always thought about someone using a drill as a torture device, but it's never really been done to the extreme until now. It was refreshing to see a movie that didn't get too hokey, especially for a Van Damme movie. If you're a Van Damme you'll definitely want to see this one. I give it 5 stars.

I had first heard about this movie over at action kings about 3 or 4 months ago, and after reading about who was directing and the production company, I had little hope for this. Then the trailer came and so did the plot. Wake of Death is Van Damme's latest movie and it is good!
The film takes place in LA. Van Damme plays Ben Archer who is an ex mob enforcer just quiting his job to protect his family. His wife is with the immigration and she takes in a little girl who has snuck onto a boat from China to the US. She ran away because she saw her dad kill her mother right in front of her. So Ben's wife takes her in for a week. Her dad comes to LA and is searching for her. He finds out that she is staying with this lady. He tracks the wife down and kills her brutally. Ben comes to find out what happened and from their he goes on a rampage. Im not going to get into all of the characters involved as from what I said above is the main plot of the movie.
Now as to what I thought of the film. The movie itself is good. Never really slow or boring. The budget was 24 million, but it felt much more to me. This is Van Dammes best yet. His acting is great and he takes his role seriously. All of the other characters were good too! Van Dammes brother was a good actor. I would like to see him in more movies. Sure the plot is not original, but who cares, as it is still an entertaining movie. The movie is bloody throughout. There is one torture seen that is intense, and graphic. But very realistic. Yes there is a car chase, and 2 nice explosions. The explosions I loved because they were not computerized. In Wesley Snipe's latest movie "Unstoppable", they were computerized a little. Not in this movie they weren't and I was glad to see that.
Now my ONLY complaint is a simple one. In most of the DTV's, there is always at 1 thing wrong. Something in the movie is too short and should be expanded. The finale with Vandamme should have been a little bit longer. Even 5 minutes would do it, but the rest of the movie makes up for it. Wake of Death is certainly 1 of the best DTV movies I have every seen. I bought it the first chance I could. Van Damme make more movies like this!
