22 Bullets
Jean Reno gets mad - then gets even


22 Bullets
Plot
Retired gangster Charly Matteï (Reno) lives the quiet life in Marseilles, spending time with his wife and two children. But when he's ambushed in a carpark by an old friend and left for dead with 22 bullets inside him, payback is on the agenda.


Verdict
Despite being based on a true-life Marseilles gangland story and a towering Reno turn, Richard Berry's thriller is an uneven stew of character development, violence and sub-Top Gear car chases. Disappointing.
