L'Empire des loups “Empire of the Wolves” (2005)
Should I see it?
No.



As a fan of Jean Reno, I went in wanting to like this movie. Ol' Reno let me down. This production about a detective (Jocelyn Quivrin) who joins with a fallen former detective (Reno) to delve into the Turkish mob in order to find a serial killer has some good moments, but some good moments doesn't make a movie worth seeing. There just isn't enough here to recommend the movie. Ultimately, this is a pedestrian thriller that relies too heavily on violence when it can't come up with any real substance.

Jean Reno is like Robert DeNiro, for me: at his best, he's great; more commonly, I still like him, even as I admit every criticism against his choice of parts and movies, and his lack of range, is probably true. I just enjoy seeing him on the screen--Ronin was a great vehicle for both of them, in this way, and despite its flaws as a movie.

Cheers,
PGE
