Watched this last night and enjoyed it for what it is. The movie has elements of Taken in it. An MMA fighter and his wife travel to Eastern Europe for a match and their daughter is kidnapped by slave traffickers. Van Damme is a butcher, former mercenary, who used to be involved in saving kids from stuff like this but has retired - it probably goes without saying that his last mission went wrong. At any rate, he comes out of retirement and teams up with mom and dad to get their little girl back. Lots of people get shot.
It's not a particularly smart film and it's got some sizable plot holes and runs about 20 minutes longer than it should, but the action scenes are solid despite some shaky cam and JCVD is pretty cool in it. Not a classic, but entertaining enough.
