Magic Marmalade 🍰 21st May 2024		Rated 7/10 Quite a fun odd couple slapstick adventure. Jean Reno is a generally uncommunicative kind of John Wick style mob enforcer who has been involved with the mob boss's missus, and who gets bumped off by said mob-boss, angering Reno, who decides to get revenge on him, initially by stealing millions of his cash, and not revealing what he has done with it, but only as a pretext to creating the circumstances to get back at the boss. Depardieu is a hapless "bank-robber", thief, and simpleton, who never shuts up, and has an insufferably sunny attitude to everything... His incessant chattering being in stark contrast to Reno's silent deadly type. They both find themselves in prison, and sharing a cell, where Reno makes a break for it, only to find Depardieu has taken a very strong shine to him, as he interprets Reno's silence as listening to him, and now he can't shake off Depardieu while they escape, who is constantly clinging to him with dreams of a partnership his new "best buddy" in a prospective café / restaurant venture: "The Two Friends". It is fun, and a simple, but basic time honoured premise that is made the most of, except, oddly, I felt this wasn't quite as zany and cartoonish as the premise demanded... the performances are good, it's just I felt they didn't go "all in" as much as the story demanded in the presentation and tone. But good, nonetheless. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
