Max et Jérémie is a very good movie, has a good script and is well produced. The cast is good too, Lambert (my favorite actor) and Philip Noiret are great actors. The movie is a little boring, but the action scenes are great. If you are a Lambert fan you will like this movie.

A good Christopher Lambert movie
Noiret shines again
This is for you, If you like the elegant french-style assassin. The very fine Philippe Noiret shows us again a great performance spiced with his typical humour. The film shows interesting aspects of the relations between an old policeman (Marielle) and Noiret as the more or less souvereign retired killer. If you look only for the usual Lambert-Action movie then you are served better with his other movies. This one is - well- calm and slower paced. Lambert is good here as the foolish young man. The character development very believable although they keep a surprise until the end. I liked it (7/10).
Not for everybody, but a "tour de force" for two great French speaking actors
The plot is a bit convoluted and raw, like people didn't think too much about it, which is strange, because it is based on a book. However the acting is amazing! Philippe Noiret does the stuck up aristocrat role, which he may have done before, but Christophe Lambert is brilliant in playing this dumb kid who is being used by the mob to kill people, but doesn't understand his value at all.
So my bottom line is that with enough attention to script details, this could have been a masterpiece. As it stands, it's just a great example of good acting. It deserves a rewrite!
