dimitarie This movie uses French as language but it has subtitles.It has lots of action and it is about an ex-gang member trying to get revenge after he got gunned down.Although you could say it's somewhat predictable it was never boring and I felt it was worth watching despite it having long duration.
Bene Cumb I am fond of thriller movies where dramatic events happen in the very beginning. And where you must follow the plot intensely, not just nodding and seeking clichés... There are lots of events and lines where it is not sure what the solutions will be.Jean Reno's character fills most of the scenes and all this is enjoyable to watch - he is one of the finest French contemporary actors. L'immortel, of course, is not as good and popular as Leon, or Ronin, where Reno has starred before, but it is still a highly recommendable action movie where fans of Luc Besson's work will not become disappointed.
ferdinand1932 The premise of this looks well worn but with Berry directing and Reno starring it should be promise to be more engaging. It isn't: it is a cliché ridden, violent, monotonous,'been there seen it it hundreds of times, waste of time.It's basic errors lie in the amount of camera coverage and the editing. There must be thousands so of cuts in this film which are to add pace and disguise the fact that it is so badly conceived. The camera swirls and dives and whizz-pans and does everything to simulate movement but a note to directors who think this type of action bestows a simulation of actual motion: it doesn't because the eye and brain always see things in proportion and not blurred. To do so with a camera only demonstrates how bad a simulation of action it really is. Consult a physician who will provide the data.This instant editing destroys any connection with the story and the action because nothing is done for long enough, not that the characters are interesting, nor is the dialog very good: but it wastes a real talent in Reno. As to the others; well they all look man and cruel but who really cares?
kosmasp Jean Renos character would probably not even smile at 50 Cents near-death experience. That wouldn't even be considered a scratch in his book. But apart from this (useless?) trivia, there is so much that you can find in this movie. Jean Renos characterization for once. The story and the other characters too.Of course you could say that this is romanticising an evil person a bit. But then again, this is a movie. You cannot try and apply rules of real life to it. Other movies with criminals involved might have been worse in that regard. And after all, there are experiences in life, that are truly life-changing. And if what Renos character has gone through does not count, what else does? It's not all drama though, there is a good portion of action to be found here. And very well shot (no pun) and acted out. The end could not have been any other. At least not for me. Highly recommended
