I was thinking to myself the other day, “I wonder what Jean-Claude Van Damme’s next film will be after his assuredly Oscar-worthy performance in UNIVERSAL SOLDIERS: THE NEXT GENERATION?” And then along comes the news that his next role will have him playing an assassin opposite Vinnie Jones (who is also playing an assassin) in WEAPON.
Apparently Jones’ assassin is a master sharpshooter and Van Damme’s assassin is a master sharpstabber (i.e. he likes knives). They must combine these two potent forces (one is obviously more potent than the other) to defeat a drug cartel that is backed by the DEA. Will they find a way to coexist long enough to see that justice is done? I don’t know, but it sure smells good.
