Comment

I've wanted to watch this film for a long time. The other day I rented this film from a rental shop though, I didn't have enough time to watch this. Finally I've watched. Jean Reno is good, also the girl who played Mathilda is good. But one point. Too much violence. There are a lot of shooting scene and bomb scene and a lot of blood. Unfortunately I couldn't understand precise things, for example the beginning of film, there were a lot of small conversations, but I couldn't catch all of them, maybe I suppose 50%, at most.
