Jean-Claude Van Damme is heading to Netflix in new action comedy The Last Mercenary – and a new trailer gives us a first look at JCVD in action.

The film is written and directed by David Charhon, who wrote and directed On the Other Side of the Tracks – another action comedy to which Netflix is currently working on a sequel – and co-stars Alban Ivanov, Assa Sylla and Samir Decazza.

It follows a former French secret service special agent turned mercenary, who must urgently return to France when his estranged son is falsely accused of arms and drug trafficking by the government, following a blunder by an overzealous bureaucrat and a mafia operation. The mercenary reaches out to his old contacts and joins forces with a bunch of reckless youngsters to save his son’s life.

The film premieres on Netflix on 30th July. Here’s the trailer:

 

The Last Mercenary is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.
