Synopsis
Wake of Death (2004) is a hard-edged action thriller starring Jean-Claude Van Damme — stream it online on iFILM. Directed by Philippe Martinez, it follows Ben Archer, a retired mob enforcer who has done everything right to leave his old life behind. Then his wife shelters a young woman on the run from a Chinese Triad.
The girl, Kim, turns out to be the daughter of Triad boss Sun Quan, played with cold menace by Simon Yam. Quan's men track her down. Ben's wife is killed. Ben's son survives. The math from there is simple.
What makes this worth watching isn't the choreography — it's Van Damme in a mode that suits him better than most of his 90s vehicles: a man with nothing left to lose, grinding through grief on pure will. Lean runtime, no wasted scenes. Stream Wake of Death (2004) online on iFILM.
