Mr. Marie, making his debut as a director, swathes their tale in a thick coat of style that teeters between cool and mannered. Read full review

It’s a mildly interesting thriller — Paris through the eyes of a director who doesn’t know how to make its beauty menacing. Read full review

Slickly executed with glossy, neon-drenched cinematography and a throbbing techno-music score, Paris Countdown sacrifices substance for stylishness, as has become the distressing tendency of so many recent crime dramas. But its fast pacing, compelling lead performances and frequent doses of action prevent boredom from settling in. Read full review

If Michael Mann, Luc Besson and Quentin Tarantino all ate the same bad sushi together, the unfortunate end result might just resemble the pre-digested pap that is the French thriller Paris Countdown. Read full review
