CGiii Comment

What is wrong with this film?

Absolutely everything.

Is it a comedy? It certainly plays out like one.

Totally miscast, Depardieu does not have a fraction of his father's charisma or talent.

A horror with no horror - the whole thing is a complete and unwatchable mess.

The(ir) Blurb...

In appearance, Yan Lazarrec is a peaceful for man. An ecological pharmacist, he relieves humanity with his potions and fights to protect it in the long haul against the polluters who are destroying it. François Barrier, a staunch environmentalist, but a cop above anything else, is investigating a series of murders. The two men meet and become friends at an ecological conference. They don't yet know they'll become enemies.
