A lot of fun! The last two acts especially are really good; however, the set up is pretty rushed, which makes the first act disappointing.

Lost on the shuffle action movie. Good story, good acting. Slow at times but still an underrated movie.

Luc Besson dans ses plus belles années nous livre ici un thriller quasi parfait dans son ambiance et ses enjeux. Casting 5 étoiles.

Early scenes are great, but it’s the 2nd half that makes this. Parillaud wears her heart on her face and breaks ours. Perfect ending too.

14th-century Franciscan monk William of Baskerville and his young novice arrive at a conference to find that several monks have been murdered under mysterious circumstances.
