The Bouncer (Original title: Lukas) is a 2018 French-Belgian action thriller film directed by Julien Leclercq, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Sveva Alviti, Sami Bouajila, Alice Verset, and Sam Louwyck.[2] Set in Belgium, the plot follows nightclub bouncer Lukas (Van Damme) who agrees to help Interpol hunt down crime boss Jan Dekkers (Louwyck) in order to regain custody of his 8-year-old daughter Sarah (Verset) from social services.
The original version of the film, which was released in Europe under the title Lukas, is mostly in French with some Flemish, and English with everything subtitled, while The Bouncer, released a year later in the United States, had some scenes cut and is dubbed into English.[3][4] The film received generally positive reviews from critics.
