Audience Member I went to avoid this film for the longest time because Asia Argento is kind of scuzzy-looking, and it looked like B-movie crap, but the poster is not only misleading, but completely ridiculous, Argento is third billing, and plays a straight-up cop, her "nicest" role I've seen to date, not some vamp with a gun and a tattoo. Directed by a pre-Transporter3/Taken2 Olivier Megaton, it evokes the same Luc Besson-ish themes, only in a better way than either of the Taken or Transporter films. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Megaton did a great job with Transporter 3 and Colombiana, really looking forward to Taken 2. This earlier work has similarities with Leon/The Professional. Instead of an apartment, it's a car, but they both end up at a hotel and have a shootout. The acting is dry, and the horrible operatic score at the end hurts it significantly, but the engaging directing and shootout makes it worth watching. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Jean-Marc was the only reason to see this dribble. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I admit I bought this only because I've been in love with Asia Argento (which has nothing to do with XxX, because I've never watched that crap) for years. And I was surprised to find an entertaining action/thriller. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member hmmm strange film - a little bit like Leon but without the same level of style Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Poor acting, but not a bad movie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
