7/10
A pleasant surprise.
5 October 2006
Nicely done, for a moderately budgeted film. Plays like a comic book, so I was surprised to find that it was an original story. Olivia Bonamy does an acceptable "Le Femme Nikita"-type heroine, but the scene stealers are Jeffery Ribier as her towering transvestite sidekick and Valentina Vargas as the undead Lady Valentine. Lots of monsters, an unusual plot line, and Mallory's car is way cool. This is a solid popcorn flick. One word of advice- if you can handle subtitles, watch it in it's original French- the translation is poor, and the dubbing is pretty bad. Special features include a good "Making Of" featurette with lots of interesting factoids.
