Movie Reviews of Crimson Rivers - Angels of the Apocalypse (Special Edition)
Movie Review: OLIVIER DAHAN, OPUS 4
Summary: 2 Stars
** 2004. Written by Luc Besson and directed by Olivier Dahan. Two policemen try to understand why a group of months are committing ritual murders in the neighborhood of an old monastery. After the excellent first episode The Crimson Rivers directed by Mathieu Kassovitz in 2000, ANGELS OF THE APOCALYPSE is a big letdown. Christopher Lee undoubtedly accepted his role to pay his taxes, the French pop star Johnny Hallyday slurs four words, the whole movie seems illuminated by blue, red and green spotlights and there are some hectic months making a lot of diarrhoeal Chinese jumps in the background. Inadvisable.
Summary of Crimson Rivers - Angels of the Apocalypse (Special Edition)
Jean Reno is back in action as Commissioner Niemans. The body he found in a monastery seems to point to a ritualistic sacrifice and a portent of something strange to come. At the same time, young police captain Reda finds a man in agony who's an exact DNA match for Christ. Reda quickly finds out his case is directly linked to Niemans, but is the Apocalypse really about to begin as all signs seem to indicate?French sensation The Crimson Rivers was a serial killer thriller with a difference--it was genuinely thrilling. It was also pretty disturbing, but Jean Reno (The Professional) brought some light to the darkness with his sly performance as dog-phobic detective Ni?mans. Fortunately, Reno has returned in this highly stylized Luc Besson-penned sequel. Vincent Cassell has not, but Beno?t Magimel (The Piano Teacher), as new partner Reda, makes for a decent replacement. Alas, Olivier Dahan isn't in the same league as Matthieu Kassovitz and the story line, which has something to do with the Last Supper, the Maginot Line, and gravity-defying killer monks, is even more convoluted than before. Then there's Johnny Hallyday (The Man on the Train) as a mysterious one-eyed man and Christopher Lee (The Lord of the Rings) as a bad German dude. It's all a little ridiculous, but entertaining nonetheless, and the chase sequences are a treat. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
