Fortunately for the company, Largo turns out to be a formidable knife fighter in the corporate sense; fortunately for this sleek, empty thriller, he turns out to be a formidable knife fighter in the street sense too.
Top CriticDo you sometimes get the feeling that you haven't seen a film before, but you might as well have? All of the ingredients are basic.
It won't make anyone forget Bond, of course. But it will do for now.
The generic plot is redeemed by exciting action sequences, good-looking location photography and a hot sex scene involving a femme fatale named Lea.
There are plenty of twists and just as many bad guys speaking in a wide variety of accents. It's handsome, large-scale escapist fare - and has as its costar the formidable, versatile Kristin Scott Thomas.
It stars Kristin Scott Thomas, in one of those French roles she usually excels at. But the movie is a mess.
If you like the Bond movies, you owe it to yourself to check out "Largo Winch."
There's so much plot and so many locations in this international finance-steeped thriller that it's one very exhausting but ultimately satisfying rollercoaster.
Far from a complete disaster, but forgettable in nearly every way.
It's a film that flies through its frantic pace with the greatest of ease, delivering a couple of real surprises along with set pieces that pay sincere homage to Ian Fleming's James Bond books
An exhilarating, thrilling and thoroughly suspenseful action thriller.
There's little room for the viewer to get his or her footing, particularly when the assumed point of identification is the relative nonentity of a hero.
German star Tomer Sisley brings a winning level of charm to Largo, rising to the physicality of the role and injecting humour, but never letting it slip into pastiche.
