Leave it to the French to make a quirky, witty Superhero movie with an original twist.
What makes this French movie stand out are it's nice acting performances with REAL characters, who have REAL human fears and desires. It's therefore easy to sympathize with these characters, something I have often troubles with when watching american superhero movies.
Everything in this movie is "served up" with a dressing of tongue in cheek jokes in a surprisingly original story, with great dialogues.
The story: a lazy and burned out middle aged French detective has got to defeat vicious Superheroes, who are attacking innocent folks in his town. While he is busy doing that he discovers he has superpowers himself as well. What luck! Will he defeat the superhero villains? Duh.
Recommended for those who have become tired watching those boring American superhero movies. This movie has got a nice alternate spin on this worn out superhero genre. It has got some lovely budding romance as well.
