Review of Empire of the Wolves (2005) by Philippe L — 25 Jan 2009

I enjoyed this film very much. It has a surreal and ominous overtone to it. Jean Reno plays his usual grizzled, down and out, tougher than nails character. I was very impressed with Joceiyn Quivrin. This was my first time seeing him perform and I look forward to seeing some of his other films.

I found the score really well matched with the scenes. I really enjoyed the cinematography. It reminded me of Immortel just a little with the secret government element and memory loss. Alas no odd lobster-shark hybrid creatures to make it a lock.

I would recommend this movie if you enjoy a fast, sometimes confusing thriller.
