Van Damme shines in hilarious french action film; "The Last Mercenary" is Jean-Claude Van Damme at his best: his comedic timing is as precise, and the movie's action set pieces are deeply satisfying
the film's humor tends to land; The action, at its best, touches the lower rung of the Jackie Chan ladder of elaborate set-piece wackiness; If you're looking for light, silly action fun, you could do worse than "The Last Mercenary"
none of the characters are memorable or interesting; whatever passes for comedy here is outright abysmal; Once it’s over, there’s nothing left but feeling embarrassed for Jean-Claude Van Damme
Jean-Claude Van Damme remains impressively limber, but that's a rare highlight in "The Last Mercenary," which features the Muscles from Brussels in a Paris-sent embarrassment
a farcical fusion of terrorism, stolen identity and father-son healing, the plot is bloated and sentimental. The middle section droops.. But the fight scenes have wit and Van Damme delivers his lines with just the right amount of weary good humor
"The Last Mercenary" offers a few big laughs; And there's Van Damme, who delivers one of his best performances in years in the movie, hitting hard when necessary, but also eager to get a little loose, which is highly amusing
"The Last Mercenary" has bounding energy and a fun take on star Jean-Claude Van Damme's past exploits as an action star, but the humor is way more miss than hit and the actual nuts-and-bolts spy plot is a trudge
