L'Opération Corned Beef

Two amazing actors in a likeable spy comedy that, with its imaginative humour, can easily beat the vast majority of similar American extravaganzas. It radiates so much liveliness and vigour throughout that you can easily forgive the bland ending, which, on the contrary, missed the effect with its frenzy... 80% (07/07/2011)

One of the few French films that I've come to love. Unlike the depressing Gabin films and goofy de Funès films, this one’s hilarious and entertaining. Jean Reno is at his best here and it's a joy to watch him move like a fish in water in a plot that is racing forward at a breakneck speed. (27/06/2016)

Maybe it was the mood of the moment, maybe (more likely) not, but I actually almost didn't like this film at all. If it weren't for Jean Reno, who made a few moments slightly funny, it would have been a complete failure. Yes, I know that all the awkwardness, exaggeration, clamor and frenzy was meant to be funny... But it wasn't. (08/09/2012)
