Until Death. 2007.

Anthony Stowe a New Orleans detective and a heroine user trying to bring down a crime lord who was once a friend. When Stowe is put into a coma, he wakes to amend his past and put things right.

This one starts off a bit slow, maybe for the purpose of character build up with JCVD as the detective addicted to drugs and nobody seems to like him pretty much for the screw ups he creates in his path. Stephen Rea plays the former friend and crime boss who likes to play cat and mouse and does make a convincing bad guy. Selina Giles plays the wife who seems to be fed up of the excuses being made by Stowe and seeks solace from someone else.

This isn't really your typical Van Damme movie, yes there is plenty of action with the shoot outs, but also shows a bit of drama on righting the wrong things and how someone coming out of a coma can adjust to a new way of life.
