Agree on the Bourne Films, but Blood Diamond an action film?? It had a bit more to it for it to be labelled an action film.

Sad but true. I really never could figure out the Van Damme love; his acting was horrible most of the time and the fight scenes were so amateurish as to be absurd. I did like Kickboxer though, good story; Tong Po was scary That scene of him kicing the tree over and over was great. And Double Impact was actually very original with storyline and he did good in that. Bloodsport in concept was great but too bad they couldn't have found someone else to play the role, guess there wasn't anyone else.
You should watch JCVD, Van Damme's acting is actually pretty damn good in that, I think in the older films you just didn't have workable scripts or directors who cared about anything other than the fight scenes.

Amazed that no-one has mentioned the 'Cage Classics' of the mid 90s, The Rock, Con Air & Face/Off
Hell Yea! I was going to post something about that movie but I had to rush cause I was late for church. JCVD is a great movie and Van Damme had an epic monologue. It was approximately 6 minutes long with no cuts! I gave him A LOT more respect after watching that movie.
