Original score from the 2008 action comedy feature film directed by Mabrouk El Mechri, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Valérie Bodson and Hervé Sogne.

THE STORY: Jean-Claude Van Damme gets involved in a bank robbery with hostages situation and reflects about his life during it.

THE SCORE: This is our second album with Luxemburg’s most prominent film composer and jazz musician, Gast Waltzing (George and the Dragon), but this score is perhaps the complete opposite of that grand symphonic work. Accompanying the tongue-in-cheek character of the film (“a French-language meta-movie parody par excellence” according to Variety), Gast’s score is “horn-heavy score is pleasingly old-school and subtly parodic” (also in the words of Variety).
