Trailer for Van Damme's 'The Eagle Path'

DateMonday, June 8, 2009 at 12:06AM
His career revived by a performance as a version of himself in JCVD, Jean Claude Van Damme has moved on to The Eagle Path, a film he wrote and directed. It's his first time behind the camera since the poorly received The Quest back in 1996.

I guess there's a certain disappointment when you learn that this is more like a 90s relic than something building on a newfound respect Van Damme has gained in some ciricles. JCVD plays a formery mercenary named Frenchy (ugh...) who works as a taxi driver in southeast Asia. He picks up a beautiful but mysterious passenger, and then the synopsis stops making sense to me.

Frenchy is haunted by memories from his childhood and somehow the only way to move both of these story elements forward is a hail of gunfire involving our hero and lots of his old military buddies.

Here's the trailer for The Eagle Path, but I think it's for fans only.

We don't have a release date yet for The Eagle Path, but I'm not overly confident it'll get much of an American release. Might do better overseas, though.

That bird looked right unimpressed with its role or perhaps the movie.. both.

Interesting. I think it's going to be decent but it won't be amazing. It's not going to be another JCVD (which was an outstanding film that any jcvd fan should see), nor should he try to rekindle that magic, but create anew. It hink he's trying to show he's still got "it" with this film. I also dont' believe we're let into the synopsis enough to understand everything, but i think the parapalegic going through a large house with a shotgun is bullshit. My father is in a wheel chair most of the time... Can't pull off that shit, and he was a master of three separate martial arts.
