Desert Heat | Year: 1999 Classification: Action/Adventure Directed: - John G.Avildsen Actors/Actresses: - Jean-Claude Van Damme as Eddie Lomax - Jamie Presley Van Damme Like Never Before With regular Jean-Claude Van Damme movies I expect a movie with no plot and pointless action, but Desert Heat was a hysterical action packed adventure of suicidal loner Eddie Lomax (Van Damme) on persuit to reclaim his motorcycle from a gang of vicious outbackers. Meeting along the way unforgetable characters and of course killing those who got in his way. Van Damme actually does some good acting in this movie with punch lines that kept me laughing the whole time (ex."can't we all just get along") Those who expect regular Van Damme martial arts to used in this movie will be surprised because Van Damme uses character development and revenge as more of an approch to the key eliment in this movie (except for the end). I loved Desert Heat and recommend it to those who like funny action movies that are very entertaining! Good,but still dissapointing... Jean Claude Van Damme had a great run in the late 80's and early to mid 90's,but sad to say I think his generation of film has passed,now the majority of action fans want high priced special effects and a superstitious plot.Van Damme has been criticized for having little or no acting skills.Even though none of his films have ever gotten"two thumbs up" he has had still to this day very loyal fans like myself who would watch him before stallone or shwarzenegger because he brings incredible charisma to movies and always does his own fight sequences.Now I guess I'll critizise "Desert Heat".The storyline is a dissapointing one but the supporting cast is farely well in my mind with Jamie Presley.The overall action is alright, but typical Van Damme,nothing that you haven't seen from him before.The acting performance which I look at since some say he can't act is alright in this movie.I think the character doesn't fit Van Damme because he usually deals with more dangerous villians,in this movie he deals with a bunch of low life rednecks.The film is good but not something I'd watch over and over again. Great Performance by Van Damme! The movie has a plot, and all the actors do their job very well. The movie does have action. Pretty much this film takes place in a desert, but it is nice. Jean Claude Van Damme's acting is awesome. The women actresses in the movie are really nice looking. The ending of the film I thought was excellent. I recommend this movie to anyone who has not seen it. Buy Desert Heat at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
