Jean Reno fans
 

After seeing "The Professional" three times in vids
and now having a DVD player, rented it tonight. I'm more imprssed. Nathalie Portman as a child, and seeing her as she is on Oprah's show is amazing how wholesome but shows her dept.

depth, sorry there's no edit button

I was happy to see Jean bite it in Mission Impossible though....but I love his work nevertheless. Natalie is quite good....her performance in Beautiful Girls was slightly disturbing...but certainly showed how talented she was...even at such a young age.

Oh, your dvd player reference reminded me to stock up on a couple since Sears will be selling one for 20 bucks the day after thanksgiving.

Check out The Crimson rivers, a creepy Jean Reno movie (in French with subtitles) set in a town in the French Alps.

He plays a detective trying to figure out a murder connected to the local university.

It's a bit over the top plot-wise, but entertaining and beautifully photographed.

i hope it opens here. I saw the tease on Allocine.

cigalechanta-

We got it from Netflix a few months ago. Good luck finding it. Posting about it has made me want to see it again, since I can't exactly remember the creepy secret in the town that caused the murder.

Blueswimmer, we rented the DVD of Crimson Rivers tonight and We liked it alot. I am a big fan of Vincent Cassel who is his sidekick here, and his father Jean-Pierre Cassel as is Dominique Sandra wonderful actors that I have enjoyed through the years at the height of their careers (in their cameo roles)Who could forget Sandra in the "Gardens of the Fitzi-Visconti, and "A Gentle Creature"

I just read that the film version of The Da Vinci Code, starring Tom Hanks will feature Jean Reno as the Inspector. :D

oooh la la!

has anyone mentioned "the big blue?" an older movie about the sport of deep sea diving. jean reno is the rival . . .

I did read Reno will star in the Da Vinci code but they have not announced the French actress yet to play the cryotologist.
melissa, "The big Blue" is now a cult film.

Jean Reno is also in one of my favorite romantic comedies: French Kiss.

I admit a weakness for this type of film, and French Kiss is great example. Reno is good; actually everyone in the film is good.

Renee: Natalie Portman in Beautiful Girls is truly memorable. And it also stars Timothy Hutton, who is in, of all things, French Kiss!

I've never seen "Beautitful girls" Worth the seeking?

Is the professional the same movie as Leon? I loved the film.

Yes, Leon, the professional.
