Dany the Lion

Dany Boon - if you have seen a French comedy in the last decade or so, it is quite likely you know who he is. You may not know the name, but you know the face. And I have to admit, he is doing it again. This movie is what it is, because of him, his charisma and the way he portrays a completely crazy character - literally.

That being said, the line between comedy and serious action is quite thin here. It still works ... and while this switches lanes from time to time and is able to entertain and surprise you at the same time, you have to let it do so ... because it is flawed ... majorly flawed. But the two main characters have such a fine chemistry ... I do not mind.
