Real Action movie without the wires !!!

I am a huge action fan, and have loved every movie Van Damme has made, even though there has obviously been the weaker ones (namely Universal Soldier 2, Knock Off) but this time the man is back bigger than ever. I am so sick an tired of seeing these lame karate flicks where guys need to hang on wires to pull off a special kick, well not Van Damme he's back with the "real" high flying kicks all Van Damme fans love. Cool movie, cool karate..........great star !!!!!
