Synopsis

Sheldon Lettich (DOUBLE IMPACT) writes and directs this direct-to-video production starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Vivica A. Fox (KILL BILL). Phillip Sauvage (Van Damme) is a soldier recently returned from Iraq and Afghanistan who is hired as a bodyguard for boxer Wayne Barclay (Razaaq Adoti). Barclay wants to protect himself from a rap mogul with whom he's having a feud, but the situation gets sticky when Barclay's sister (Fox) begins falling for Sauvage.

4.0 out of 5 stars STYLISH, SLEEK, SEXY - Van Damme is still on a good streak, 15 Jan 2007
By C. Shepka "CNJCVDSSDL" (UK, Scotland, Bellshill) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ok. I'll be honest with you. Its not Van Damme's best. I don't think he will have another film as great as the dizzy heights of Timecop or Hard Target. Please people, remember this is a direct to video film produced with a budget of under fifteen million US dollars and has a team of lackluster producers behind it which need all the help they can get from the ever-commited stars.
Whilst I make these small points in the films defense it does have its problems. Van Damme seems to want to make films which are realistic, gritty and act well in them but the way he chooses to play the character is very strange. The character is virtually a walking zombie until he gets a gun in his hand or a tingle in his fists. But I'll give him my respect because you are a lot more suspicious of the character and Van Damme gives a sense of mystery to him. But then there is the action side of things as with any Van Damme film they come exciting but infrequent due to a running time of nearly two hours and relationships between teh characters more complicated than a Rubix cube. However, the action is swift and flowing and well directed and though there are not too many high kicks because Van Damme is playing a war-torn soldier and it would not suit his character, a few trademark kicks are thrown in to please the fans. The cool guns and the shoot first, ask questions later attitude of the characters remind me of the 80's action movies loaded with cheese and enough bullets to load every gun in the world once.

Overall the film is very nice visually with stunning colours, good actors and the right amount of chemistry between them. It also has gritty fist fights, sparkling gun fights and an ever so slightly disappointing conclusion.
Well, that's me finished rambling and when I started out writing this review I promised myself that I wouldn't go on with my own views on the movie industry and inject pointless lines which I think are witty into it but - I have done it.

I'm not going to tell you to buy this film. You can decide that for yourself. But if you do buy it - enjoy.

Thanks for reading my review!

2.0 out of 5 stars An OK straight to DVD release, 2 Jul 2007
By KM (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
Jean Claude Van Damme, the "Muscles from Brussels" has always been a so-so actor, saved completely by some top quality martial arts action that he is so good at.

In 'The Hard Corps', Van Damme plays an ex-soldier, who was in wars in Iraq and Afganistan, now employed as a bodyguard of a famous heavyweight boxing champion who needs protection from an ex-con/rapper and his gang who are after his blood for putting him inside.

As far as stright-to-video films go, this isn't too bad. There's plenty of action throughout, unfortunately it mainly involves guns instead of martial arts which kind of makes having Van Damme as the main star a bit pointless as he isn't really known for his great acting.

If you do purchase this DVD, don't expect anything along the lines of Bloodsport, Kickboxer or Universal Soldier as this is not a martial arts film, but is still a pretty entertaining action film.

2.0 out of 5 stars Another Average Van Damme film, 14 Aug 2007
By PeterL (UK - London) - See all my reviews
Average Van Damme film tbh, nothing special.
The only standout fight scene is when he fights the boxer .... The scene Last around about 5mins and tbh it kinda dragged.

Vivica A. Fox co stars as the 'love interest' Which doesnt really add anything to the film well apart from showing how poor Van Damme acting really is during their scenes together.
