caught this french movie last friday because my movie producer wasn't able to make it to the preview. saw a few tv personas like guo liang from channel u and timothy from channel news asia. the gv theatre at plaza singapura was so small that it reminded me of school ava rooms. anyway, let's get on with the movie.
we went in expecting to test our reading skills since its a french movie with english subtitles. fortunately or unfortunately, there's no much subtitles to talk about. its a movie with very little dialogue and that's not the only thing that was lacking. there wasn't many action scenes which you will expect in a spy movie. the only big hooha scene i can recall is that of a very nice peugeot flipping on a highway. but even that was done with CGI. so what else was lacking? i would say the script was not fantastic but passable. it did makes me wonder what happen to spies who want to opt out. anyway, if the job comes with the kinda of babes that james bond get, who wants to quit? :p
so what's left of the movie that's good? the cast of course!. the two leading actors, namely monica bellucci and vincent cassel, are just....can't find a word for it...excellent. me going ga ga over monica is not surprising since she's got the looks and .....just put it as too-delectable. i was also pleasantly impressed with vincent's performance which i will say is only hampered by the script.
so would i recommend the movie? yes but not for the split second nude scene. instead for a different kind of spy movie and for vincent and lastly....monicaaaaaaa. =P~
rating: 3/5 (for fans of monica & vincent) : 2.6/5 (for non fans)
