Couldn't match the original because of its unconvincing plot, 7 July 2008
5/10
Author: johnny-08 from Rijeka,Croatia

First movie, "Rivières pourpres, Les", was a big hit of French and European cinematography because it proved that Europeans are capable of making interesting thrillers, just like Americans, if you give them enough money to do it. Here in second part money is the only thing that stayed. There is no plot that can keep us interested all the time and certainly Benoît Magimel couldn't match with Vincent Cassel although I don't have nothing against Magimel. The whole plot of the movie isn't that convincing and chase scenes between Reda and monk are just too much. Like you're watching a longer version of that scene from "Casino Royal" when they are jumping all around in the air. What I liked is some directing parts from Olivier Dahan ("Môme, La"), legendary Jean Reno as always and the religious questions that I like in movies. I recommend you to watch first movie and the second one but only as mindless action flick. To get something more watch "The Ninth Gate" from Polanski with Depp or similar movies. For this "Rivières pourpres, Les" I give 5/10.
