The Last Mercenary Full Movie Review:

The plot chugs along with no surprises, but that’s beside the point. While it’s not exactly a laugh riot, the film’s humor tends to land. The supporting cast amuses, especially Assa Sylla as no-nonsense friend Dalila and Alban Ivanov as bumbling, earnest bureaucrat Alexandre. Focused, fierce and funny Sylla, one of the stars of Céline Sciamma‘s acclaimed “Girlhood”, looks like one to watch. Venerable stars such as Miou-Miou and Valerie Kaprisky also appear in small but important roles.

The action, at its best, touches the lower rung of the Jackie Chan ladder of elaborate set-piece wackiness. It’s enjoyable to see Van Damme still kicking derrière (though it may be a stunt double doing much of that kicking).

There’s an ease, a confidence in Van Damme’s screen presence now that lends itself beautifully to a Zohan-like, seemingly infallible warrior who gets into absurd situations in easily penetrable disguises. The veteran performer looks like he’s having a whale of a time going from this moustache to that wig or this dress, which makes the gags all the more amusing.

If you’re looking for light, silly action fun, you could do worse than “The Last Mercenary.”
