...This film was obviously a follow up from the original idea in An American Werewolf in London. But some sequels should never be made and this is one of the definetly. The story is 3 americans in Paris who find themselves in a strange world of werewolves. I wont waste my time writing anything more on this except to tell you--don`t watch it, watch the original american werewolf in london. The gore is limited, there's no suspense, and the decision to use computer technology to create the werewolves is little short of disastrous - they look like completely unthreatening cartoons....

Advantages: Some of the best car cahses ever, great DVD Disadvantages: Can be slow at times
...The story is nothing groundbreaking, but the car chases are, in my opinion something special. Robert DeNero stars along side Jean Reno in this fast paced thriller of deception. The plot revolves around a briefcase which everyone wants to get their hands on. The action takes place in Paris and several sides are involved leading to a lot of opportunities to have Audi's screaming after mercedes round narrow Paris sidestreets. And this is all fine, in fact it's a great deal of fun. Thanks to DVD I can jump straight to the chase scenes. But this has the side effect of making the rest of the film seem a bit slow. However, some great performances from Bobby and Jean (as always) and a pretty darn good film altogether.
The DVD is great. It looks and sounds spectacular (look and listen at the scene in the Paris tunnel) and the extras while sparse...
