this movie was made on a relatively small budget (10 20 million dollars. ) with almost no promotion at all from its distributors. i only knew about it because i am a long time jean claude van damme fan and i always check out his latest films in hope that they will be at least watchable and aside from some real turkeys (derailed and second in command) and they are. this movie has an easy enough plot to follow and van damme gives a good and humorous performance through out but the movie owes all of its credit to the fight scenes involving van damme and scott adkins and the final one of them together. the editing and camera work for most of the film is pretty terrible but isaac florentine can definitely film a good fight scene. i too am happy that van damme has been acting better lately (in hell and wake of death and until death) but with the good acting came less martial arts. in the shepherd and van damme proves that he still has it.
