Stowe is coming off of a drug deal, in which two officers were killed, and the primary villain, the drugs, the money and the surveillance tapes are still at large. He is also dealing with his wife, who has just informed him that she is pregnant - but the child is not his.

After an inner battle with himself, He gains again the spirit to live again. While on the road to recovery, Stowe finds himself in a very personal battle to make amends with his kidnapped wife and to take revenge on his assailant once and for all. Stowe is a dirty cop who is hooked on heroin, and everyone dislikes him. Because of an accident he is put into a coma, and comes out of it a better person. He wakes up wanting to put things right. I don't get it why people hated Until Death it's easily one of Jean Claude Van Damme's best performances ever in a straight to DVD movie. I mean it he plays 2 roles in this film one is a corrupted junky cop and the other is a vegetable man that tries to win his family back after he ruined his life and his family. The movie has also an amazing ending that i totally did not see it coming and it worked perfectly with a very nice soundtrack. It's sad that Van Damme can't make movies like this anymore i mean he's not Schwarzenegger or Stallone but if you ever want to see a cheesy 80's or 90's action star he's always there. If you haven't seen Until Death please do it's a really good movie. OK i had high hopes for this one. Not that Van Damme was in it thou. I've seen his movies and i have to admit that i was a big fan of his many years ago. Bloodsport for ex was a favorite when i was a lot younger then I am today ;) Thou his latest movies have not been much to say the least. So when i looked at the ratings here i was very pleased. "7.7 for a van damme movie?? God damn i have to see this". It started out good with van damme playing a cop that have seen better days. He was not in this movie to show off his ass that was for sure ;) But oh my god…. The acting SUCKED so bad… I can not say that any of the actors on this movie was worth the money seeing this movie. And the story was so predictable. I wont spoil anything for you unlucky people that are going to see this after all but if any of you do not guess the end after 30-40min then I do not know what to say :)<br/><br/>Well good part in this movie was that van damme was more then just a "kick-show-ass" guy in this movie. And well MAYBE he acted a little better then he use to but it is not enough for me anymore. I am sorry but this movie goes down the toilet. Take my advice and spend 1.41h of your life on something more meaningful
