Review of In Hell

A Van Damme title that thematically competes with the Last Temptations of Christ, although it is not - quality-wise - in the same sphere. The plot is useless, the settings are magnificent (the concentration camp atmosphere you just cannot create with fake settings!), the score seems out of place. There is a lot of repetition, especially the moth as angel sequence that becomes tiresome after the first one. Ringo Lam directs with a gusto a film that should have not been made. Although the beard and the scruffy look of the main character going mad collect a few scattered points. Lawrence Taylor's performance and some of the f/x, especially biting through the neck in a fight sequence, save a bundle of an otherwise hopeless case.
