Good concept, poorly executed.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Pierre Niemans faces the threat of the apocalypse while investigating a series of ritual murders. Jean Reno returns in this straight to DVD sequel of The Crimson Rivers where he faces a new type of murderer this time a whole army of people dressed in black flying around in super markets killing people and of course jumping threw glass doors. Christopher Lee also makes an appearance in a small role that expands the plot of the movie just like the first film this is an underrated movie with a lot of action but also of blood although the first one was better in mystery this one is better in the type of action, villains and the Opening Titles Theme is pretty haunting this is a great movie don't buy the reviews on this one also no dubbing voice for once.

I have a thing for Jean Reno. Ever since I saw him in Godzilla, I have been searching for his films. This is the completion of Crimson Rivers, and it is great. No, it won't win any awards, but it's enough to see Reno as Commissionar Niemans again, strongly supported by Benoît Magimel (The Piano Player, The Child of the Night), Camille Natta, and the ever evil Christopher Lee (Wicker Man, Lord of the Rings). Lots of blood and a weird story based on end times and a book supposed written in God's hand. Heads roll, people are nailed, and monks fly through the sir. Fantasy? Oui. Reno est magnifique. C'est tout ce des sujets à moi.

First movie, "Rivières pourpres, Les", was a big hit of French and European cinematography because it proved that Europeans are capable of making interesting thrillers, just like Americans, if you give them enough money to do it. Here in second part money is the only thing that stayed. There is no plot that can keep us interested all the time and certainly Benoît Magimel couldn't match with Vincent Cassel although I don't have nothing against Magimel. The whole plot of the movie isn't that convincing and chase scenes between Reda and monk are just too much. Like you're watching a longer version of that scene from "Casino Royal" when they are jumping all around in the air. What I liked is some directing parts from Olivier Dahan ("Môme, La"), legendary Jean Reno as always and the religious questions that I like in movies. I recommend you to watch first movie and the second one but only as mindless action flick. To get something more watch "The Ninth Gate" from Polanski with Depp or similar movies. For this "Rivières pourpres, Les" I give 5/10.

The original novel was awesome,and so was Mathieu Kassovitz's movie adaptation,starring Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel.Pity the same can't be said for this disappointing,insipid,useless sequel.Reno returns as Pierre Niemans,having to investigate on a couple of murders perpetrated by superhuman monks.Yes,the concept IS that bad,and yes,the writer IS Luc Besson,who probably should retire considering his most recent works.Instead of Vincent Cassel and Nadia Fares,we get Benoit Magimel and Camille Natta,whose on screen presence is as interesting as that of an insect.The main title sequence and the opening murders are visually great,but the rest of the film sucks.Reno and Magimel try to compensate the whole thing with some bad jokes,but when even Christopher Lee's portrayal of the Nazi villain seems to be saying "This time they should have typecast someone else",you realize something has gone incredibly wrong.One of the worst follow-ups ever,and let's hope the third chapter stays in development hell forever.
