Plot Summary

From writer/producer LUC BESSON -- the legendary action filmmaker behind such adrenaline-pumping classics as The Professional and The Fifth Element - comes this hilarious high-impact adventure starring JEAN RENO (Godzilla, Mission Impossible) as a burly French cop traveling to Japan to settle an old debt. With his old-school tactics and pit-bull disposition, police detective Hubert Fiorentini (Reno) is all business. But his routine existence is disrupted when he learns the only woman he ever loved is dead. Summoned to Tokyo to settle her estate, he soon suspects her death was no accident. When he discovers that he is the father of her spirited teenaged daughter, things really get complicated.

Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: [Tries] to parody a genre that's already a joke in the United States. The movie is the equivalent of French hip-hop, which also seems to play on a 10-year delay. – Elvis Mitchell, New York Times, Jul 16, 2008

Rotten: Dawdles and drags when it should pop; it doesn't even have the virtue of enough mindless violence to break up the tedium of all its generational bonding. – Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: The real charm of this trifle is the deadpan comic face of its star, Jean Reno, who resembles Sly Stallone in a hot sake half-sleep. – Laura Sinagra, Village Voice, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: A silly, cross-cultural shoot-'em-up -- the sort of movie that will work for those with some time to kill. – Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle, Nov 19, 2002

Funny and Charming French Adventure

4 stars for this french comedy which delivers a solid entertaining package overall. The actors' duo Jean Reno & Michel Muller (who was famous comic in France 10 years ago) works very well. The 2 actors must have enjoyed working together as it shows on the screen, resulting in several funny scenes and few laugh-out-loud moments. The set-up is also interesting with a nice mix of French and Japanese cultures. Even though the movie is the comedy genre, it is also full of action. I admit that the fiction can be a bit cheesy at times and over-the-top but it works well because it does not pretend to be anything else than light entertainment. Enjoy!
