The Bouncer is a French-language action-thriller film that first released in 2018. The lead character is played by Jean-Claude Van Damme, who portrays Lukas, a former soldier working as a nightclub bouncer in Brussels. Lukas is a single father and is struggling to raise his eight-year-old daughter, Sarah, on his own. He is a man of few words and seems to have given up on his dreams of a better life. Instead, he focuses on providing for Sarah.
One night, a fight breaks out in the nightclub where Lukas works, and he is forced to use his military skills to subdue the assailant. Unfortunately, in the chaos that ensues, a bystander is killed, and Lukas is blamed for his death. The incident attracts the attention of police detective Nassim (played by Sami Bouajila), who believes that Lukas is involved in a larger criminal conspiracy. To clear his name and protect his daughter, Lukas agrees to go undercover for Nassim to take down a dangerous criminal organization.
As he gets deeper into the underworld of organized crime, Lukas finds himself in increasingly dangerous situations. He must navigate a world of violence, corruption, and betrayals as he tries to uncover the truth behind the conspiracy. All the while, he must also maintain his cover and protect Sarah, who has become a target for the criminals.
The Bouncer is an intense and action-packed film that showcases Van Damme's signature style of martial arts and physical combat. However, it also has emotional depth, as Lukas struggles to balance his duty to his daughter with his role as an undercover operative. The movie was directed by Julien Leclercq and was well-received by both audiences and critics alike.
