FRANCE: Les Empire des Loups (Empire of the Wolves). 2005

Director: Chris Nahon
Stars: Jean Reno, Arly Jover, Jocelyn Quivrin, Laura Morante, Philippe Bas
Release date: France - 20 April 2005
Length: 128 min

Okay, this is apparently a confusing mess of an action film. The mere fact that Reno is in it is the main reason I'd watch it. I just wish he'd choose his scripts more carefully, for he's in danger of becoming the French version of a 'once was great' actor like DeNiro. Must admit when I read that he was playing a cop who is pulled out of retirement for one last case I cringed at that tired arse script device. It's either that or the last day before retirement kinda gig.

From the same author of his previous hit The Crimson Rivers, Jean-Christophe Grangé.

Synopsis
Anna's (Arly Jover) reality is disintegrating before her eyes, but as her doctors and husband treat her for a mental disorder, she becomes convinced that there is more to the story, and that her memories are not her own. Meanwhile, an expelled cop (Jean Reno) is brought back from retirement due to his familiarity with France's Turkish community, where a serial killer is brutally murdering redheaded women.
