The only way to make this film any worse is to listen to the dubbed version, which turns Reno's deep growl into a lilting voice that wouldn't be out of place on an episode of Friends.
Unfortunately, the narrative is so far-fetched and muddled that even Jean Reno's considerable talents can't rescue the film.
