first let get a couple of thing straight . this movie be dark and unsweetened european chocolate for the mind and pure and simple . it make about as much sense a a jerry bruckheimer film . or maybe the average john woo movie . which be to say and it only make sense a entertainment the pure form of escapist entertainment . now that we have that out in the open . this lengthy film be handsomely mount and well execute . high production value in evidence throughout . it be well write and well act . it be visually attractive and atmospheric . it be absorb and there be not a dull moment in it . the plot be a mix of serial killer movie and extreme political thriller and crazed nazi doctor movie and secret anti terrorist police movie and medical science fiction and old cop or young cop partner movie . but they mix all this stuff up together quite enjoyably . like jerry bruckheimer and tony scott and john woo film and it really shouldn not work and but it really do . reno be great a a dangerous and rather brutal and grizzle rogue cop get out of retirement by an obsessed young cop to solve a series of grisly murder . the actor play the young cop acquit himself well . the cast of villain and victim be convince and compel . the dialogue be good quality and there be twist and turn aplenty . keep you guess until the last scene . we be take on a wild and dark and violent ride through the grim underworld of human trafficker in the turkish slum of paris ( at least i think it be paris ) . anyway and whoever make this movie really set out to entertain an audience . i think they succeed admirably . turn on the movie and turn off your mind and enjoy yourself .
