Die Schutzengel (1995)
47KDie Schutzengel: Directed by Jean-Marie Poiré. With Gérard Depardieu, Christian Clavier, Eva Grimaldi, Yves Rénier. Gerard Depardieu plays a sleazy Paris nightclub owner and ex-detective who flies to Hong Kong to rescue the young son of a friend murdered by the Chinese mob. He leaves the boy in the hands of an earnest priest (Christian Clavier), who escorts him back to Paris. Soon Clavier and Depardieu are fighting it out, each shadowed by his good or evil guardian angel.
“Try watching more than 20 minutes of this. Can it really be classified as a comedy? Can it be classified as a movie? It is directed with a degree of sloppiness and amateurishness that is unacceptable for a u0026quot;normalu0026quot; motion picture. Plus, the version I saw was horribly dubbed. The only way you can enjoy it perhaps is if youu0026#39;re from another planet, where what we consider u0026quot;franticu0026quot; is considered u0026quot;funnyu0026quot;. What a waste of some good stunts and some expensive special effects! 0 out of 4 stars.”
