Best adaptation ever!!

Indeed, this is not the best movie if you compare to all movie in the world, but if you reduce the scope to focus only adaptation movie, this one is the best. Alright, the storyline may not so impressive but it is not a big deal. The most impressive thing is you will know the characters who is their immediately without confusing even their are not looking same and even you are not City Hunter fan.

So unexpectedly good!

Who would have thought it would so faithful and respectful of the source material... It's funny, action's great and it's 100% City Hunter!

Funny

Philippe Lacheau and Elodie Fontan are sometimes hilarious. Really! Nevertheless, the overall result lacks of achievement.

Successful adaptation

Really enjoyed this movie and would watch it again on DVD/BluRay. I was quite impressed with the quality of the action scenes (for a French comedy). Looks like the director enjoyed making this movie, which shows care, attention to detail as well as faithfulness to the original anime City Hunter. I remember reading that creator Tsukasa Hojo himself enjoyed the screenplay for Lacheau's film, therefore giving the project 'added value' (particularly for the fans of the series who might have had doubts about this adaptation). The balance gags/action/storytelling is good, the casting works well too. A good job overall, considering that mangas/animes are particularly tricky to develop into convincing live-action movies. Now hoping for a sequel!

Better than I expected, a refreshing live action City Hunter adaption

By far the best live-action adaption of the City Hunter manga/animation. Not that it is excellent, but at least all the characters and the background story are faithful to the original City Hunter manga, unlike most of the Hollywood productions. The actor who played Umibozu (Mammoth) really looks the part, and not just some big bold guy wear a pair of shades. The story itself is a straight forward, comedic one, with some (subtle) adult humors, a bit like the old Benny Hill show if you are old enough and English. I do wish they will carry on making some sequels with the same cast with some additions of the regular characters in the manga.

Trivia
"City Hunter" creator Tsukasa Hôjô had been refusing several offers to adapt his work over the years, because most of the time these works were simple action stories. However, when he met Philippe Lacheau he was impressed with the prepared screenplay: "In Philippe's scenario, there was everything: drama, laughter, things a bit naughty. He had taken into account the totality of the work."
