22 Bullets (2010)


22 BULLETS  (2010)

Jean Reno brings his implacable presence to the role of a Marseilles mob boss who gets shot 22 times in a gangland hit. Miraculously, he survives, which is not good news for the ex-colleagues who set him up and drilled him. Family, honor, loyalty and betrayal are key elements in the story, and the violence is brutal. It's where Martin Scorsese meets Luc Besson. The original French title translates literally as "The Immortal".
