IMHO REVIEW :
okay... picked up this movie cause the last movie with jean reno i saw was pretty good (Empire of the Wolves). well this movie was utter crap.

this movie was utter crap (i thought) as it tried to be an action / mystery / drama / buddy flick - and doing non of them well. the action sequences was really... out of place? there was all this fight sequences - but not by jean reno whose kinda like the main character - but by some rookie cop... what the shit? so are they like buddies - like leathal weapon or something? nope - the interplay between the two doesn't even happen til the middle of the movie and done poorly.

the mystery - eh... not much mystery there. meaning there really wasn't that much buildup. whenever they tried they'll screw it up by randomly inserting an action sequence - which distracts from the mystery / drama factor of the movie. sadly i didn't notice that this was part 2 of a movie by the same name.... (grrrrrr....) i had heard that part one was good and part two was crap. well let me tell ya - this was crap.

don't watch it. there's so many other good movies to waste your time on. :)
