l'Immortel, 2010


L'IMMORTEL
Jeno Reno

ACTION, DRAMA

Once feared mob boss Charly Mattei turned in his life in the Marseille mafia for a chance to spend time with his wife and their two kids. Echoes of his old life come back to haunt him when he is gunned down in an underground parking lot.

Miraculously, he survives and a long recovery ordeal later, he is reunited with family but also with those who want him out for good.







THE GOOD : Decent actioner, crime drama. Poetic cinematography along with a good performance by Jean Reno.
THE BAD : Plot not new, tense but predictable.

-6/10

========================================
THOUGHTS / SPOILERS :
L'immortel ain't no Leon but has Jean Reno in a similar role of menace turned civilian but encounters the criminal element and must do battle once more. Here, he's more the family man and to a certain point, you find Jean almost endearing in his role as a conflicted ex-mafia boss. Not a bad film.
