Movie review

From Time Out London

The Euro zone attempts to play the Yanks at their own game with this pacy, multilingual 'Bourne'-again action thriller. Sisley plays the titular dropout son-of-a-billionaire, forced out of hiding when his dad pops his clogs and a seedy Abramovich-alike comes gunning for him. It's wildly predictable and a tad self conscious – you get the distinct impression everyone involved feels they're above this sort of thing – but there's a lot of fun to be had as Largo jets from Brazil to Hong Kong to Bosnia, seducing dames and dropkicking bad guys with rugged Gallic abandon.
