Review

Deep in the heart of Paris lies a dark secret. Thousands of miles away in Los Angeles, ambassador Han is about to disclose it to the World Criminal Court.

Han has discovered the identity of Shy Shen – the mystical leader of the Triads. But he’s silenced by an assassin’s bullet before he can uncover the evidence.

Enter Detective Carter and Inspector Lee with their inimitable style of crime fighting. Their search for Han’s assassin takes them swiftly to the French capital.

They don’t know the language, the culture or even exactly what they’re looking for. But their adventure sees Lee trade blows with an old acquaintance called Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada), Carter romance a beautiful femme fatale named Genevieve (Noémie Lenoir), while both take an unguided tour of the city’s sewers.

The Eiffel Tower finale delivers sky-high thrills and the film looks terrific thanks to the energetic, colourful camerawork of Crash cinematographer J. Michael Muro and the sumptuous set designs of Edward Verreaux
