Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Michael Ledo This is another teen abduction/ Eastern European sex trade/ rescue movie. Samson Gaul (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is the village butcher who moonlights as a mercenary. His accent varies throughout the film. His son (Kristopher Van Varenberg) who works at the US embassy, sends him clients.When Andrew Fayden(Joe Flanigan), an American cage fighter's daughter Becky (Charlotte Beaumont) is kidnapped, he calls on Samson who is reluctant to take the case. On his last case he generated a significant amount of collateral damage that wasn't as funny as when MacGruber does it.The movie has a slight twist which really wasn't much of a twist. Monica Fayden (Anna-Louise Plowman) mouthing statistics in the middle of the film made me think this was a 93 minute public service announcement. In addition to beating up people, Samson uses elaborate high tech stuff. He is capable of setting up complex traps in a matter of moments. The movie "Taken" has set the bar for this genre and unfortunately this one doesn't measure up. Will work as a rental.Parental Guide: F-bomb, no sex, no real nudity. Women in strip clubs scantily dressed. One woman with large pasties...nothing we haven't seen at Superbowl half time.

nicholls_les Really enjoyed this film, I didn't know what to expect but it held my attention throughout. OK the story had lots of holes and not all the characters were as believable as they could be, but hey this is not meant to be Shakespeare. As a good action movie it delivers and JCVD is great. He is one of the few Martial arts actors who can actually act and not just fight people.In some ways the story is a bit like the Liam Neeson film Taken. The villains are suitably evil and I did find myself routing for the girl, along with the frustration of shouting at the screen when she did something silly.But if you like good action films and just want a few hours entertainment I would recommend this movie.

Leofwine_draca Although 6 BULLETS is nothing more than a star vehicle for B-movie star Jean-Claude Van Damme, one filmed in Eastern Europe to boot, it's actually pretty decent and much, much better than the similar fare churned out by Steven Seagal for the last fifteen or so years.This film has lots of flaws but somehow it remains sparkly fresh, inventive, and exciting. The storyline is nothing new: a girl is kidnapped by people traffickers, and her parents call in the forces of a top bad-guy-finder to track her down. Clocking in at two hours, this is also overlong, with far too much screen time of the frustrated parents which drags things down a little. But when Van Damme's on screen, this film really comes alive.The action scenes are hard-hitting and feature some great moves in the tradition of Asian fight choreography. There's an over-reliance on cheesy CGI effects here, but that can be ignored because for the most part this is exciting, well-filmed entertainment. Van Damme is on top form playing another world-weary protagonist, and his opening scene in the goatee disguise is a highlight. 6 BULLETS is no classic but it is a lot of fun nonetheless, and especially so given the obviously low budget.

Prismark10 If Liam Neeson can have a big hit with Taken then why not jump on the bandwagon.6 Bullets has Jean Claude Van Damme playing a mercenary Samson Gaul infiltrates Eastern European human trafficking rings and rescue boys and girls from the sex trade.At the beginning of the movie we see him rescue a young boy but Gaul failed to take into account the collateral damage of his actions which left two young girls dead.Haunted by this he ends up drinking and working as a butcher.The plot kicks off when a teenage American girl is kidnapped from her hotel in Romania and the parents turn to Gaul for help. Gaul reluctantly accepts as he also persuaded by his son who is a cop. Gaul discovers that the criminals are being aided by the Romanian secret service on behalf of a wealthy Arab arms dealer who wants an American virgin.The film wants to make serious points about the child vice trade, a serious issue in parts of Eastern Europe since the 1990s wrapped around an action thriller. Van Damme is assisted by Joe Flanigan who plays the dad and who in the movie plays a major MMA star, therefore he can share the action scenes with Van Damme.Of course its basically a low budget Taken rip off without much verve or characterisation that the original Taken had. Its still an involving story, decent action scenes although the parents of the kidnapped daughter are flatly drawn.
