    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Both the film and the book it's adapted from are loosely based on a seventies gang war between Jacques Imbert aka "Jacky Le Mat" (considered to be the last "Don" of Marseille) and Tany Zampa. Just like Charly Matteï in the film, Jacky was left for dead on a parking lot with 22 bullets in his body by Zampa, yet miraculously survived with only his right arm remaining paralyzed.
    • Goofs
      Charly's right arm is supposed to be paralyzed, yet when he is riding the motorcycle he works the controls as if his arm and hand are perfectly normal. When riding the bike and wearing a crash helmet Charly also becomes noticeably agile and lithe for a man in his late 50s who has recently been shot 22 times.

    Fast paced, but nothing that hasn't been done before and filled with clichés

    I went to this movie in Sneak Preview, otherwise I probably would not have gone to watch it. The thought of watching a two hour thing about a French mafioso (do they even have Mafia in France?) who survives 22 bullets and then goes on a rampage of revenge, just doesn't appeal to me...

    I'm going to have to admit that the movie wasn't really that bad though. There were some nice (and also brutal) scenes and Jean Reno was his usual steady self, nothing spectacular, but not bad either... overall the acting wasn't too bad. Not outstanding either, but given the fact that there are a lot of French nobody's in the film, (no disrespect intended!) that was a pleasant surprise.

    However, there were too many cliché's in this movie to make it anything more than amusing. The whole story was very predictable, with no unexpected plot twists or anything spectacular that will make it memorable.

    Conclusion: If you wanna lay back and watch an entertaining movie, this is probably one for you. However, if you are looking for a little more depth, pass on this one. It's not like you haven't seen this before...
