In a gray Paris, circa 2020, high-tech surgeon Bruegen (Marthe Keller) and her daughter are involved in a horrible auto accident. Meanwhile, gung-ho European Police officer David Hoffman (Albert Dupontel, severely buffed) and his wife/partner are in a pitched gun battle with wild-eyed Bulgarian secret service renegade Dimitri Nikolov (Alain Figlarz), who sadistically offs Hoffman's significant other...
Some interesting things. Visually especially, it is nice and well filmed. I also liked that since the story is in a near future, you can see technology already known today but more at an experiment stage, in the movie it is used by everybody. Also enjoyed that the plot is not totally explained from start and you slowly discover things. But, there are also some big turn off in this movie: the action fighting scenes are stupid, ridiculous and way too long. And Albert Dupontel, who is normally a great actor, desapointed me big time, his acting is way too exagerated!
