With the acclaimed release of the semi-biographical heist film “JCVD”, it would appear 80s/90s action star Jean Claude Van Damme had finally redeemed himself to make an ultimate comeback to the silver screen. Having turned down a role in Stallone’s all-star action team-up, “The Expendables”, it looks like Van Damme’s trying to rebuild his career on his own terms. A promo for his next film “The Eagle Path” has been released and it looks like Van Damme is kicking ass as usual, which is impressive at his age. Here’s the summary:
“A military veteran and former mercenary, Frenchy (Van Damme) works as a taxi driver, hiding somewhere in East Asia, haunted by his past. After his driving shifts he often frequents the Eagle’s Nest, a seedy bar that houses a caged eagle. In the midst of the chaotic Asian traffic Frenchy picks up a beautiful female passenger who will change him forever.
Driven by dark memories of his childhood, he becomes determined to improve her life and, without her approval, he embarks on a journey which proves to be more dangerous and complicated then he expected. After encountering a series of harrowing obstacles he calls in favors from his special ops friends who immediately join him. His military team engages in the biggest fight of their lives. War is hell, but nothing they’ve done could have prepared them for this.”
