Jean Reno reteamed with one of Luc Besson's scripts as Hubert a French cop who plays by his own set of rules. Which get him suspended for two months after mostly accidently injuring the Chief of Police's son. Though the timing works out since he soon after is contacted about the will of a former lover from when he worked Intelligence in Japan. Hubert's love had vanished from his life with no word almost twenty years earlier and has haunted him ever since. And when he arrives in Japan he finds that he has a nineteen year old daughter he never knew about...

A very over-the-top action movie, where every punch and gunshot sends people flying thru the air. With Jean Reno as the nigh invulnerable action hero dealing with transgender bank robber gangs in France and mirrorshaded Yakuza thugs in Japan. Fun in a old-school action kind of way...
