Pound Of Flesh [Blu-ray]

Really love it. It's one of the blu rays that I wanted in my collection, which it will be completed soon with new blu ray from Van Damme's filmography. The blu ray doesn't have any extra features.

Make no mistake this is a terrific film covering a subject that I'm sure goes on all too often. (Think Hostel but more for profit than perverse kicks). The story is EXCELLENT and the action even more intense than Van Damage usual. The only downside for me, is that for a film made in 2015, to have no subtitles is downright amateurish. (I'll put that down to an unintentional oversight.) If this was made as a 'straight to DVD' I really don't understand why. The two main characters work very well together and the ending can't fail to affect you, unless you have no feelings at all. x

its an ok film with action but not that much martial arts,

Pound Of Flesh. Genre: Action. Certificate:15/R. Running Time 104 Minutes. Synopsis. Deacon is a former black-ops agent who awakes the day before the operation to find he is the latest victim of organ theft. Stitched up, Deacon descends from his opulent hotel in search of his stolen kidney & carves a blood-soaked path through the darkest corners of the city brothels, fight clubs, back-alley black markets, & elite billionaire estates. The clock is ticking for his niece & with each step Deacon loses blood. Timelord Thoughts. 'Pound Of Flesh' sees the muscles from Brussels - Jean Claude Van Damme back to what he does best - high kicking, fist punching action, ok so there's a few occasional naff green screen shots during the driving sequences but on the whole this is a testosterone fuelled action flick with a bonkers but entertaining plot that features a nice twist at the movies climax. Jean Claude Van Damme seems to be playing far darker characters of late & Deacon is another one of those characters who has a past full of secrets, Van Damme adds emotional depth to his character somehow making a unlikable character likeable. British actor/stuntman/fight cheographer Darren Shahlavi is on scene stealing form as the villain Drake, but sadly Shahlavi died of a heart fatal heart attack caused by atherosclerosis in January 2015 he was only 42 & this movie is respectively dedicated to him. The direction by Ernie Barbarash is stylishly shot & the fight scenes pack a decent enough punch for a B' movie, the plots sees Deacon (Van Damme) have a one night stand with a women he supposedly saves & wakes up the next morning in a ice bath with one of his kidneys missing which he was donating to his sick niece who is in vital need of a transplant so Deacon frenetically races against the clock with the help of his brother to take down the bad guys & get back his stolen kidney, in order to save his dying niece. The plot is completely far fetched & ludicrous but it's entertaining switch your brain off action hokum & overall this is a solid enough fast paced entertaining thriller, if your a fan of JCVD movies like myself then 'Pound Of Flesh' is definitely worth a watch & is one of the Muscles from Brussels better straight to DVD releases of recent years. A underrated gem.

Great film, with the brilliant Van Damme. He's a perfectionist so makes the best films.

I like jean claude van dames films so I saw this one and had to give it a try I am so happy that I did the film starts of slow but all in all this is van damme back at his best not much more to say then give it a shot your be sorry if you dont

Jean Claude Van Damme back to his best. After some rubbish films - apart from Expendables 2 - he does what he did best. Great entertainment.

average for Van Damme. The plot doesn't make much sense however it was worth a watch .

Van Damme wie man ihn kennt. 👍😉😉😉👍

This movie is good to watch and it has good action in it. The picture is and so is the quality.

Potremmo dire che questo film segna un confine. Dal ragazzo che era esponente delle arti marziali, mito indiscusso degli anni '90 si arriva a questo. Pound of flesh è un film dalle doppie angolazioni. Strizza l'occhio alla carriera di Van damme con spaccate spettacolari e calci rotanti o con riferimenti a trame già interpretare eppure si discosta. Maturo, introspettivo e cinico. "Uccidere è facile, la cosa difficile è convivere con la consapevolezza" dice il suo personaggio che di consapevolezza ne ha tanta. Dilapidato il suo rene buono è costretto ad una corsa contro il tempo, dentro e fuori di sé. Alla ricerca della risposta che si indovina da subito. Esiste una sola scelta, il prezzo da pagare è sempre alto e non ammette repliche. Van damme riesce a fare un film con pochi fondi e molte pecche architettoniche ma e qui sta il bello. Ci dà un ultimo insegnamento forse il più bello e vero. Errori nella vita si fanno sempre ma solo chi è un vero uomo ha il coraggio di sostenere il peso della colpa. Un samurai moderno o semplicemente un uomo che ha visto il diavolo in faccia, ha riso e lo ha preso a calci in puro stile Van damme!!!!!

Film molto bello
