The Adventurers

Watching The Adventurers is like watching every heist movie blend together so don't get your hope high when it starring Andy Lau and Jean Reno.The characters is poor written,the plot is so predictable that you can see every twist and turn from miles away but it not obnoxious to the point that it unwatchable.Watch Once a Thief if you want to see a better version of this movie

This could be a ripoff of any action thriller film released in the last 25 years. Andy Lau and Jean Reno are wasted here and give their worst performance from what I have seen. Not even a single thing is there that hasn't been shown in another film in a much better way. A lot of the dialogues and situations were laughable or else simply predictable. It's Shu Qi that made the film a little bearable even though the character isn't well written. There were some decent chase sequences too but overall very lacklustre and there is no adventure here.

Gotta be honest here, I turned it off about halfway through so I'll give it a five rating. Just in case it somehow switched the entire cast, the plot, the special effects guy, the script, the editor, the endless production companies and their credits and anything else connected with this movie. Miracles can happen.

I'll say one thing.. the movie is almost a throwback to 1950's big American studio productions set in Europe. You know the ones, they always featured swaggering laughing self-confident Americans doing wondrous things amidst the baffled and sluggish Europeans. As a sign of those times and American confidence, every one of those movies is unwatchable now.

I suspect in a few years as China pretty much takes over the world this movie will be seen as insightful into their viewpoint.

Legendary actor Jean reno(león the profesional a classic movie,ronin,crimson rivers,wasabi,the squad) creates a likable, sympathetic carácter in this international production movie. This is necessary for the comic relief of the movie. The camera-work was particularly masterful - creative, meticulous high level production.. There are few a particular cool action scenes towards the climax that are amazing.The international cast are part of the experience. Yes, there are some credibility factors but it is after all only a movie.The producers should produce a sequel to this great movie

This is not really a review, it should be taken more as a collection of impressions of the film.

Sufficient action movie that manages to entertain even if it has a really trivial plot and an ending that fails to adequately close the film, that is, it manages to close the main story and some secondary ones but leaves one of the main secondary stories hanging without any sense . So the film as a plot is really trivial but as an unpretentious action film it does well and entertains which in the end is its job since this film clearly wants to be just mere entertainment without the slightest effort.
