Wasabi (2002)
Luc Besson strikes again with this crossbreed between an American action flick and a Japanese pop comedy -- all in French, of course. The main asset here is the inestimably awesome Jean Reno (the awesomely cute Ryoko Hirosue doesn't hurt either). Reno's great, the film less so. It's intermittently exciting or amusing but has too many dead spots and an atrocious Odious Comic Relief performance by Michel Muller. Worth a look on a slow night, but otherwise skippable unless you're a Luc Besson fanatic.
Grade: C+
