Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

There is something about the revenge movies...Perhaps it taps into some primal hunter and protector in all of us. Even after centuries of so-called civilization, we are still creatures of instinct.And here comes a very well done, albeit not very original revenge thriller. There is nothing here we didn't see before, many, many times. Nevertheless it works. Excellent pacing, well choreographed violence, good character actors, and, of course a sense of justice done. Something we do not see very often in real life. The bad guy these days not only gets away with murder, but usually runs for office and lecture us about patriotism. Maybe that's why this flick works so well. Like an old-fashioned western. You run the villains out of town and ride into the sunset.

Cliché'd, slowly paced and terribly inaccurate firearm behaviour goofs. I'm all for purposeful silliness but when this is tries to be a "Bourne" film at the same time as a man surviving 22 close range bullet wounds without any serious injuries, as well as using the usual wooden doors for cover later on - that gets to me. Suffers from dumb-mobsters syndrome too. Plot and acting was just enough to stop me from getting too bored before the end. Not a badly made film if you are looking for a run-of-the-mill revenge movie but if you have watched any number of movies in this genre before, this will seem very familiar with not much originality to offer. See "Man on fire" (2004) for a great alternative.

The reason I decided to watch the film was mainly the participation of Jean Reno. However, the overall taste fell below my expectations.The most disturbing issue in the movie is the existence of roles (actors) which offer nothing to the plot. For example, would it make any difference in the story if Jean Reno had only one wife or none instead of two? Do you actually remember the name and the participation of the third member of the three children which then comprise the mafia gang?Moreover, the movie seems very predictable and Jean Reno very old for this kind of story. However, he is the one who survives from this bad and indifferent movie.To conclude, I think that there is nothing to remember from this film which seems to count only on the leading actor. Disappointment!

I have to say I'm not a fan of Besson's productions, but this one is a good surprise. If you're looking for a very clever plot, forget it. But if you want to enjoy beautiful views of the glorious city of Marseille and have a thrill at the gangster's atmosphere it used to live in, this is the one. Jean Reno is solid like usual, Kad Merad -such a good actor- doesn't find his comfort zone in the bad guy, Marina Fois is brilliant, what on earth is Richard Berry doing in his own movie where his role has no impact? Overall a good moment, not Borsalino or French connection, but i definitely recommend it. If you want to see more of this mysterious city, try to locate the following titles: Comme un aimant, Taxi, Un ange, FC 1 and 2, Borsalino 1 and 2, movies with Raimu...
