Because this movie certainly deserved it...i thought i would come here and there would be the usual negative reviews tearing down something actually worth seeing for i don't know WHAT reasons. So i was pleasantly surprised to see all the eights and nines...it's a good movie.
Multilayered. Complex, but not too...it's easy to follow...and though it's been done before, what hasn't?
It works on every level that a movie like this should...the pacing is excellent...i bet you don't look at your watch ONCE while it's playing. And the action is well interspersed with the story lines...it doesn't TOtally depend on it.
Definitely recommended if it sounds at all interesting.
Forgot to mention a few things. Someone said, in French, that this guy is the 'new Jean Reno'. I'm sure he's referring to 'Leon...the Professional'. I love Reno...but the guy in this movie is MUCH more believable...so yes. I agree... AND...it's funny that it's a French movie, considering the 'political' angle...and yes, i know...France isn't ALL that much different than the US...but i would've, MUCH more, expected that part of the plot to be American. I can't say more without it being a spoiler, so i'll just leave it at this...
