Review of Arsène Lupin

Arsène Lupin (2004)
5/10
action movie french-style
12 October 2004
I have just seen this film, and I have mixed feelings about it. There are some very nice scenes, especially when Lupin plays the lovable smartass (excuse my french), but then it gets overlong and the plot gets too convoluted for a general audience's taste... should have stayed simpler, it would have been better.

Instead, it turns into one of those recent french-style action movies, where they must fill in a special effect or two, and turn everything into a Gothic play. This makes the film heavier than it should be. That said, the lovely Eva Green looks lovelier as ever, but I wouldn't be surprised if box office for this title would be disappointing, especially abroad.
