As an action star, admiring him as Leon and as any other quiet and charismatic good-bad guy in his films, I actually can't imagine Jean Reno doing the Pink Panther's Ponton character! Anyway, seeing his new film, L'immortel (22 Bullets) last weekend was a great experience. I love Jean Reno! See the trailer below and leave a message if you are interested for the film's link, DVD quality.
Synopsis: After a long, brutal and successful career as a mafia tycoon in Marseilles, Charly Matteï has finally gone into retirement. For some years, he has lived a quiet life devoted to his mother, wife and two young children. Then, one morning, he is left for dead in a subterranean parking near the old port with 22 bullets in his body. Somehow he survives, gets his nickname of “l’Immortel” out of it, and goes looking for revenge.
It was full of "bloody" focus though. From the closed-up bullet removal from his gunshot wounds and the splashing of blood that I remember the splash of blood in Kill Bill of Q. Tarantino...only that in Tarantino's style there, he made animations to soften the effect. With 22 Bullets, you have to be careful if you hate bloods... you have to skip some parts. In fact, even the ending part where Mattei had to rescue his son, the barbed wired has really to make him get wounded/scratched and all bloody. The violence level is also high. Killings, drugs and stuff like those.
I love the acting of the little boy though. He knows what he's doing at his age! He'll be really big for sure to have a talent like he has as a boy! What's his name?
