      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Jean Reno's efforts aren't enough to add dramatic ballast to Wasabi's bursts of kinetic -- yet frustratingly hollow -- action.

      Aim B Fantastic. The actors are a perfect fit for their roles. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Antihrist P Pure fun from the golden age of Luc Besson. Great action comedy. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/23 Full Review Carlos T Minha opinião: temos aqui Reno interpretando Charles Bronson ou Clint Eastwood, um tira osso duro roer. Porem sendo um filme com aquela pitada de humor. Reno é chamado para ir ao Japão, pois o nome dele esta em uma herança de um antigo amor dele. Mas quando ele chega para sua surpresa é que ele tem uma filha que é Ryoko. Uma menina doidinha de Tokyo. E começa um relacionamento de um brucutu com uma adolecente japonesa. E a química é muito legal. Ver estas cenas deles é muito divertida, ainda mais a tirada sobre seu nariz. Kkk E para completar o tri temos Muller que tem uma cara de sapo e é mais uma diversão. E tem uma mafioso atrás de Ryoko para pegar o dinheiro que a mãe dela desviou. E assim se desenrola a estoria, mostrando Tokyo, os jovens e os yakuza atrás deles. Muito legal assistir este filme, mesmo no dia de hoje é atual. Muito divertido e gostoso de assistir. Roteiro e enredo bem elaborado e divertido. Vale apena assistir? Sim com certeza. Nota: 8,5 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Esse filme de ação é bem genérico,mas o bom dele é o papel de Jean Reno que flutua muito bem com o drama e a comédia. Além de ter uma trilha sonora empolgante nos momentos de ação. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review steve d Fun action film with Reno being especially effective. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I thoroughly do not understand the low ratings. I have watched/re-watched this a half dozen times - and I'm hard to please even once. One thing is to ensure the viewing experience were ship-shape: watching it half-baked on a mobile device simply will not work. Go to your 50+ (minimum) inch LCD, plasma, etc and ensure you have surround sound. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Judith Prescott Hollywood Reporter The movie fails to live up to the sum of its parts. Feb 5, 2003 Full Review Matt Weitz Dallas Morning News The film is a contrivance, as artificial as the video games Japanese teens play in a nightclub sequence, but it's an enjoyable one. Rated: B Nov 14, 2002 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Reno does what he can in a thankless situation, the film ricochets from humor to violence and back again, and Ryoko Hirosue makes us wonder if she is always like that. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 20, 2002 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com There's little tension as Reno's character is one of those invincible heroes that we haven't seen much of since the '80s. Rated: 1/4 Dec 28, 2008 Full Review Michael Szymanski Zap2it.com Rated: 1/5 Sep 21, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 17, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
