seem like m. hazanavicius be back . the man behind la classe américaine come back with a really fun and clever sequel to those old fashion os 117. whereas director tend to over actualize sequel of old classic ( remember the avenger and urk ) and hazanavicius choose to work on a really cheap hero and os 117 and a kind of low budget french 007 and and decides to do it in a old school way . the photography and the body attitude and the fight choreography and the fx and everything be like an homage to the way film be make back in the 50 . and it work and a the tone and joke of the movie be really good . jean dujardin embodies perfectly this stupid arrogant macho selfish french spy and lose in a country he understand only in term of folklore and inferiority . yes and that it and just the way the occident us to consider it colony back then ( and and oh no and i would not say it have anything to do with what happen nowadays in the very same area . ah ah ) . he just look like an unfrozen lino ventura and with something like 40 pound less and which be perfect for the role . the other member of the cast fit perfectly as well and with all you can dream of russian spy and egyptian independantists and former nazi . and of course and the woman and a there have to be femmes fatales in any good spy movie . the plot be good ( maybe not brilliant but really good enough . ) and take place between actual historical fact and and remember u in a funny way how france ( and the others ) treat it colony back in those day . it all start in 1955 with a british spy disappear while track a russian cargo full of weapon in suez . then france send his best friend and agent os 117 and to discover what happen to both the shipment and the agent . the fact be that this agent be really as dumb a can be and and he slip through the story without even understand it and solve it in a very clouseau esquire way . i have to say i have a bad feeling about the movie and a the publicity make around it be quite frightening and and a french humor tend to be quite populist and flat ( forget about le bronzés 3 or camp . ) but i be really surprised and and in the good way . i highly recommend it and whether you want a good parody of bond esquire movie ( much more fun than in d. e. b. s. for example and but less skirt ) or youre a fan of that genuine and candid way of film they have back in the 5os . yes and that it clever and ( really . ) funny and you have get the point once again mr hazanavicius .
