    • The world's deadliest mullet VS the most constipated villain on Earth.
BOTTOM LINE: This film certainly won't win any awards for its script or acting, but for balls-to-the-wall action fans John Woo's HARD TARGET is a pretty solid choice, and remains one of the better bare-knuckled titles on Jean-Claude's rough & ready resume. 4 STARS THE STORY: Former soldiers are hunted for sport in this thinly-veiled reworking of 1987's DEADLY PREY, 1992's DEATH RING, and of course the great-granddaddy of all "hunting people for sport" movies, 1932's THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME. Jean-Claude Van Damme stars in this John (The Killer) Woo-directed actioner as Chance Boudreaux, an out of work ex-Marine Force Recon soldier eeking out a living in New Orleans as a merchant sailor. He becomes involved in the barbaric human trafficking/trophy hunting plot when he crosses paths with a young girl who arrives in town trying to locate her ex-Vietnam vet father. Turns out dear old dad was just found dead, the most recent player in a deadly contest where homeless ex-combat veterans are tempted with the promise of $10,000 cash if they're willing to be live game for ultra-rich types yearning for something more sporting to hunt than the usual four-footed quarry. THOUGHTS: Jean-Claude must've wiped out an entire 55 gallon drum of Dippity-Doo to keep his lethal mullet in check for this motion picture; certainly one of the stronger movies of his career. HARD TARGET is an extremely thick-headed but also undoubtedly well concocted action-fest; an early-90's entree in the "blowed up real good" action-hero heyday of films cranked out in the early-1980's to mid-1990's. Remember those? You know, where every object hit with a bullet blows up with the explosive force of a stick of dynamite, the guns have bottomless clips and heroes are all but superhuman, capable of wiping out half the bad guys on Earth without breaking a sweat - unless it makes them look cool. Ahhh... those were the days! Anyhow, in this amazing film we are treated to prolific, craggy-faced character actor Lance (I can do this part in my sleep) Hendrickson playing villainous Emil Fouchon, a psychotic sleezebag who, for an outrageous fee, arranges the savage one-sided manhunts. He plays the role with gruff bellowing gusto but looks so bug-eyed and pinch-faced throughout the entire film that he comes across like a man who hasn't had a good bowel movement since Nixon was in office. Cuckoo-eyed Arnold Vasloo adds his hammy charm playing gleefully unhinged Pik van Cleef, the lethal but loony sidekick of Hendrickson's character. And finally, Wilford Brimley rounds out the lead cast as Chance's lovable moonshine-making uncle Douvee, channeling Justin "the Cajun cook" Wilson and assaulting our ears with what is perhaps THE worst Cajun accent in the history of ever. ("Hoo, I garowntee dat!") Hong Kong action-meister extraordinaire John (THE KILLER, HARD BOILED) Woo directs this wall-to-wall punch & kick hooplah. Strangely, Woo's attempts to replicate his hometown success here in the States were uneven and shaky, at best. This film, along with FACE-OFF and BROKEN ARROW remain his best American-made efforts. His absolutely unique, uber-violent, over-the-top directorial style (for better or worse) influenced a generation of up & coming young directors, all eager to clone Woo's operatic, wholly hyper-excessive cinematic bloodfests. He plays his entire hand of trademark cards in HARD TARGET, too: the 2-gun kid mode, leaping through mid-air firing a zillion rounds, lots of stylish slow motion scenes, and poetic flapping bird shots galore. HARD TARGET features a nice use of urban & rural locations in and around New Orleans, adding to the unique look of the film, while a zydeco-flavored bluesy soundtrack colors the movie with authentic bayou character. The brutal fight choreography & explosive pyrotechnics (and there are TONS of both) are all expertly done, helping kick this otherwise routine blood 'n' bullets entry up several notches. If you're looking for a stereotypically macho action film, (with a few silly asides), that also happens to sport truly artistic visual flare, then HARD TARGET is a rockin' good flick to pick. THE BLU-RAY: The hi-def Blu for HARD TARGET is a barebones effort, but at least it offers a clean picture & strong, level soundmix. Picture is crisp for the most part, with only minimal artifacting & pixelation. Compression isn't much of an issue nor is overuse of DNR, thankfully. Color palette is well-represented and filmgrain is evident. Sadly, the only bonus feature is the film's theatrical trailer. Bummer. ... show more

    • "Good whiskey make jackrabbit slap de bear!"
It's my belief that when John Woo came to America, Hollywood may have been excited but had no idea what to do with him - or, more aptly, whom to team him up with. Kurt Russell was uninterested, Seagal and Norris were busy doing their own things, and Schwarzenegger would have been a match made in hell, so Jean-Claude Van Damme seems to have been chosen by default. However, the combination made for not only a very strong entry into Van Damme's filmography during his run on top of the mainstream but also arguably the best American film Woo made...aside from Face/Off . The story: Natasha Binder (Yancy Butler, Witchblade ) comes to New Orleans to search for her missing father - a quest she will be joined on by a capable drifter called Chance (Van Damme, Bloodsport ). She will need all his help and martial expertise to escape a deadly crime syndicate run by a sadistic gangster making money off the deaths of the homeless (Lance Henriksen, Aliens ). The script is written by Chuck Pfarrer, who penned Darkman and would later write a couple graphic novels . By large, it's a swell fit for Woo: there's some definite corniness to it and I could've done without quite as much sadism from the villains, but it does a good job of building a balanced movie around a simple idea, like the director's best work. Chance isn't a terribly out-of-the-ordinary character for Van Damme to play, but sticking the French-sounding Muscles from Brussels with a Cajun identity is a nice alternative from the usual born-in-America-raised-in-Europe mug he usually gets stuck with. The standout characters are definitely the villains: enforcer Arnold Vosloo ( The Mummy ) doesn't know karate or look physically intimidating, but he's easily one of the most effectively monstrous henchmen ever seen in a Van Damme movie; and Lance Henriksen is simply brilliant as the cold-hearted merchant of death. Wilford Brimley ( The Thing ) appears in the second film half as Chance's moonshine-making uncle and does a good job of endearing himself as the comic relief. The only real questionable character is Yancy Butler's: the woman can act, but Natasha is simply a dummy in distress. John Woo reportedly turned down several martial arts-themed scripts before finding this one, so there isn't an abundance of hand-to-hand fisticuffs - a shame, considering that the bit there is looks pretty cool; a five-on-one encounter early in the film makes excellent use of sweeps and counter techniques. The rest of the action is made up of pretty decent chase scenes (where else will you see Van Damme fleeing attackers on both a motorcycle and then a horse in the same hour?) and gunplay derivatives from Woo's Hong Kong days. The latter is the one major disappointment the movie offers: the scene in the warehouse - inclusive of the badass bit where Vosloo and Van Damme shoot at eachother from opposite sides of a wall - is pretty darn cool, but on the whole, the shootouts are a step down from the perfection of the director's previous work. They're a bit too formulaic, incorporate way too much slow-motion, and the absence of any long, uninterrupted shots suggests that Van Damme had less endurance than Chow Yun-Fat or Tony Leung . The Louisiana setting is charming by default, but overall, it's the obvious fun that Woo had making this movie that seeps through and helps cement this one's agreeable blockbuster tone. Some "classic" aspects of ol' John's work are overutilized (e.g. how many shots of flying doves can you shove into a single scene?) and may make the film seem hokey to casual viewers, but hey - what were you doing watching this movie, anyway, if you weren't up for a bit of silliness? It's a strong, stylized vehicle for Van Damme and a colorful montage of many of John Woo's strengths; not perfect but definitely worth a watch, from general action fans to devotees. ... show more
