Movie Name : Largo Winch
Language : English, French
Genre : Action, Drama
I watched this movie last weekend. I have seen French movies mostly with Drama as central theme. This was the first time watching an action French film. The action sequences were not as exciting as Hollywood movies, yet movie was impressive and left a good impression.
The story is about Largo Winch, played by Tomer Sisley, who is adopted and thus becomes an heir to a large group. His father has kept his identity secret to save him from undue risk. After the untimely death of his father, Largo faces various threats and conspiracies in order to gain his rightful inheritance. The movie has some nice twists and turns. The movie is all about the acceptance of Largo as the rightful owner of the wealth and responsibilities left behind by his father. The script is tightly written without any loopholes. The ending is open with a possibility of sequel, which was released later. The movie shows us the glimpses of flip side of being an heir to a wealthy person. Largo himself states in the movie that he is not after money, he is after his father's murderer.
The acting by all the main casts is great. Tomer has done well in his acting showing various emotions, needed as per script. Miki Manojlovic has done impressionable job as a ruthless businessman and a father. The father-son relationship was depicted with various small flashbacks. As stated earlier, the movie is not at par with Hollywood action movies but I liked the action sequences for Largo as those are used to depict a prodigal son of wealthy businessman, not a professional or hit-man. The story keeps you on your toes. The film has used varied locations to follow the script. The background music is worth mentioning. Cinematography, dialogues and direction are seasoned as expected from a French movie.
Taking all the pros and cons, the movie was great in his unique genre of action packed drama. The movie had right combination of drama mixed with action restricted within suitable time frame. I will rate this movie as 3.5/5.0
