It's a shame this movie isn’t more widely remembered now. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I started watching it. What I did know was that it was a huge hit when it came out, and it’s largely been lost to time since then. It comes from Luc Besson, a French filmmaker who I think is talented. The story centers on Jacques and Enzo—presumably one French, the other Italian—and their evolving relationship. …

It's a thoughtful narrative featuring strong performances from both Jean Reno and Rosanna Arquette. The musical score, composed by Eric Serra, might appeal to some viewers but isn’t universally enjoyable. While the film runs a tad longer than necessary, it remains engaging throughout.
