“I keep finding myself liking French action movies more than Hollywood films. Not that I hate Hollywood action films. This particular movie is good at one thing. Escapism. Pure escapism. The plot is so so, but the movie is such that almost 2 hours go by and Iu0026#39;ve hardly noticed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie is much better than The Crimson Rivers 2. Although I love the character in that movie. Jean Renou0026#39;s beard in this one is a lil off putting. But still great acting nonetheless. Empire of the Wolves (as is the name on the disk.. if you entered that in search in IMDb youu0026#39;d come up empty handed. ) has great similarities to the first Crimson Rivers. Although there, the camera work was so superiour that thereu0026#39;s no comparison. Crimson Rivers 2 is not based on a novel of the first movie. This one is. The score is pretty good. And the female lead did a darn good job with what she was given. Iu0026#39;m not entirely sure why some didnu0026#39;t like the movie, maybe they were expecting Delicatessen or some masterpiece. But hey, up against most of the Hollywood fare, this one trounces them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e7/10u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eQuality: 4/10 (confusing storyline) Entertainment: 10/10 Replayable: 10/10”
