About this product
Product Information
This boisterous crime-cop dramedy is written and produced by Luc Besson and stars Jean Reno. Like THE PROFESSIONAL (the 1994 Besson-Reno film), it is the story of a man with a grim, lonely life and a penchant for violence who finds redemption in a needy, spirited young girl who forces him to have heart and save her from an ugly group of thugs. This time around, with WASABI, Reno plays Hubert, a Parisian cop who is handed a forced sabbatical when he accidentally beats up the chief's son. Simultaneously Hubert learns that his one true love, Miko, has died, leaving him her inheritance. He quickly travels to Tokyo to sign the papers, and learns that he has inherited Yumi (Ryoko Hirosue), his exuberant 19-year-old daughter, who is perpetually shopping, dancing, and laughing. Unfortunately, Yumi is being trailed by a tough bunch of Japanese mobsters who want access to her sizeable bank account. With the help of Maurice (Michel Muller) and an immense cache of weapons--grenades, rocket launchers, giant pistols, and golf clubs--Hubert uses some fancy footwork to bring Yumi to safety. Directed by Gerard Krawczyk with a thumping musical score from Eric Serra, WASABI is a bright, loud, fast-moving film.Product Identifiers

A hilarious French action film
A very good and amusing story with a leading character is something of a French Dirty Harry. This copy is dubbed in English and done very well. I also have the original French language edition with excellent English subtitles. I highly recommend this movie. Jean Reno is wonderful in this role. It is pretty much a laugh a minute action film with a few emotional parts to pull at your heart strings.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Action packed, fun Reno/Luc Besson film!
Excellent Jean Reno folm where he plays the French equivalnet of Dirty Harry and gets a mandatory time off and finds he has a daughter he never knew about. Funny seeing him adapt to the father role while protecting his daughter from the yakuza.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
