boring

Rating: 3/10 (27 February 2005)

this film turned me off Besson and Reno. It's just too adolescent. The 'love' scene is awful, the plot turgid. The relationship with his mother is pretty suspect and possibly explains his weakness as an adult. The directors cut is way too long and doesn't give us anything the already overlong original release gives. Three hours of two emotionally underdeveloped men trying to out dive each other! Give me strength. Only the glorious photography kept me awake. Perhaps it would've worked better as a comedy, Reno is actually quite funny in places, but it just doesn't hold water as an adult film. Ah........, maybe it's not meant to be,maybe I've missed the point
