Featured review
Slick but labored spy farce
Pierre Richard tries to be the Clouseau of the spy world, but his character is too much of a jerk; besides, Gordon Mitchell, playing it straight as the real hitman that Richard is mistaken for, is funnier. The film has beautiful cinematography by Henri Decaë and a couple of great car stunts by Remy Julienne, but overall it's decidedly mediocre - and too long. ** out of 4.
