Anthony Zimmer (2005)



In Nice, the international police force and the Russian mafia are chasing Anthony Zimmer, an intelligent man responsible for laundry of dirty money in France, who had extensive plastic surgery, and his new face and voice are completely unknown.

Goodlooking thriller offers little suspense, and the twist ending is highly predictable.

La chambre des morts (2007)



While on a joyride with the headlights turned off, two men hit and kill another man carrying a satchel full of money...

Very competently produced crime thriller with a good cast, but the plot is a series of improbable coincidences, and the finale is a full ripoff from The Silence of the Lambs.

On second view: still agree with my initial impression, nevertheless watchable.

Ma vie en l'air (2005)



Will the fear of flying rob a man of his second chance for love?

Likable light romantic comedy,  but otherwise quite unremarkable.

Les aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec (2010)


An adventure set in the early part of the 20th century and focused on a popular novelist and her dealings with would-be suitors, the cops, monsters, and other distractions.

Deliberately silly, but not so funny fantasy; it does have the usual Luc Besson excellence in production details.
