Crimson Rivers 2: Angels of the Apocalypse |
Réalisateur : Olivier Dahan. |
Starring : Jean Reno, Benoît Magimel, Johnny Hallyday, Nikita Samaha, Camille Natta, Christopher Lee. |
Genre : Action, Crime, Thriller. |
Official Website : (Not English Website) http://www.rp2-lefilm.com |
Plot Summary : |
French sensation The Crimson Rivers was a serial killer thriller with a difference--it was genuinely thrilling. It was also pretty disturbing, but Jean Reno (The Professional) brought some light to the darkness with his sly performance as dog-phobic detective Niémans. Fortunately, Reno has returned in this highly stylized Luc Besson-penned sequel. Vincent Cassell has not, but Benoît Magimel (The Piano Teacher), as new partner Reda, makes for a decent replacement. Alas, Olivier Dahan isn't in the same league as Matthieu Kassovitz and the story line, which has something to do with the Last Supper, the Maginot Line, and gravity-defying killer monks, is even more convoluted than before. Then there's Johnny Hallyday (The Man on the Train) as a mysterious one-eyed man and Christopher Lee (The Lord of the Rings) as a bad German dude. It's all a little ridiculous, but entertaining nonetheless, and the chase sequences are a treat. |
