How did you know where to find him?

Warning: Spoilers
This is a French film. I watched it dubbed in English and outside of a few scenes it was hard to tell it was French. The film centers on Adam Franco (Alban Lenoir) who was trained to fight and kill as a teen and given a new identity after he nearly died with five bullet wounds. Adam does not say much. No funny lines or retorts. He asks questions and shoots. A hotel was attacked in Paris believed to be the work of a southern Sudan Islamic group lead by Moktar (Kevin Layne). Franco is charged with infiltrating Victor's (Eric Cantona) group of criminals who has contacts with Moktar. Adam's early assignments gets him baby sitting duties as he looks after young Joey (Noé Chabbat), the eight year old son of Victor's consort. When Joey gets kidnapped plot elements reveal themselves.

It was an interesting story. I wish a famous American actor had the lead, but such was not the case. Kept me alert.

Guide: F-word. 1 brief sex scene. Exotic dancers in pasties.
