Jean-Claude Van Damme plays JCVD, an actor with tax problems who has just had a custody battle for his child and found that he has just lost a role to Steven Seagal. JCVD returns to Belgium and goes to a post office to pick up some money that has been wired. Unfortunately he arrives there at the exact time the PO is being robbed. Even worse, he becomes the fall guy for the robbers. He is forced to help shutter the windows and negotiate with the police over the phone.
This is definitely different from JCVD's usual films and he does a great job. There is a monologue near the end of the film which is out of left field but very effective. Overall an interesting film, although it seemed to slow down in the middle.
