Video Player All Time Top Ten! No. 5: THE EAGLE PATH

[Twitch is undergoing some behind the scenes tire kicking and bolt-tightening over the next few days, work that may slow down the regular flow of new information a little bit. So, while that's going on we'll be presenting a series of retro-reposts, pulling forward the all time top ten videos since we moved to our current video system. This post originally appeared July 17.]

A military veteran and former mercenary, Frenchy (Van Damme) works as a taxi driver, hiding somewhere in East Asia, haunted by his past. After his driving shifts he often frequents the Eagle's Nest, a seedy bar that houses a caged eagle. In the midst of the chaotic Asian traffic Frenchy picks up a beautiful female passenger who will change him forever.

Driven by dark memories of his childhood, he becomes determined to improve her life and, without her approval, he embarks on a journey which proves to be more dangerous and complicated then he expected. After encountering a series of harrowing obstacles he calls in favors from his special ops friends who immediately join him. His military team engages in the biggest fight of their lives. War is hell, but nothing they've done could have prepared them for this.

It's an adrenaline-fueled, full-on, maximum firepower thriller, filled with the intense psychological conflict that Van Damme fans love the world over.

Much encouraged by the stellar JCVD, we've been tracking Jean Claude Van Damme's The Eagle Path for months now, with the first promo reel for the film appearing back in May. Appearing to be very much rooted in 1980's style meat-and-potatoes action tropes that early promo was still quite raw but it has just been joined by a second, much more polished spot. Those hoping Van Damme would continue down the JCVD road are clearly going to need to adjust their expectations as all the meta-content of that picture is absent here but classic 80's action fans are going to find a lot to love. I'm still very curious to see a finalized, fully polished trailer, but you can find the new promo and the original spot below the break.

Well I watched it now severel times...and I don't know weather it turns out genius or simply emberassing. Its weird and psycho, fun but at the same time gives you a stupid impression...mmhhh...
Isn't it he's daughter who's playing the woman he's "loving for the first time" ?
He's accent is a brand, I heard him speaking english far better many times.So it's an image thing I guess.
But anyway, did I say I like it?

The Eagle Path trailer just shows how great the film is!
For those boring silly ones who do not like it, kindly shut up.
