*** It's not a "Drama" it's an Action/Comedy film. ***
Still a big French production signed Besson.
What I expected. In France this film received an enormous promotion, letting to us think that it was about a comedy spiced by a significant share of action. Réno and Muller were to form an explosive couple and to carry out the survey in Japan. Hirosue, unknown until then of the French public, had added to the exoticism of the Japanese scenes.
The story holding in one line: The ex-girlfriend of Hubert Fiorentini died in Japan, without this last not being had a news of it lasting 19 years, and he owes occupper of their daughter.
What I saw. I would not speak about the contents of the scenario. I saw a good film. " It is all? " Almost. In fact the performence of Muller is not exceptional as it's announced. There is nothing to say on Jean Réno who is as usual. The film never really impressed me by its scenario. However it is necessary to note the absence of the abuse of pyrotechnical effects... and it's well. The scene of actions, like French can do them, are effective. Here not need to make expose a Boeing, four tanks and twenty cars to have a GOOD scene of action. Let us note the recourse to the numerical effects, but without abuse. The first start in France with the presence of the charming Carole Bouquet - good. But the best in this film is : Ryoko Hirosue. I had undoubtedly never seen it before Ryoko Hirosue. It is she who gives the tone to this film, Ryoko Hirosue is the radiant sun. The fact that she plays in French is there for much, and with a very pretty voice.
In two words: it is a good film to see between friends, without expecting big action like in 'Leon' nor hilarious moments like in 'Shrek'... but a good distraction. Wonderful Ryoko Hirosue.
