Jean Reno's 2010 film "Immortal", the synopsis of the story is that a retired gang boss wanted to live a peaceful life, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being shot, and began the process of revenge after he survived. The result is a happy ending of a new life after a fight. It is said that the film is based on a real gangster story in France. I wonder if the real boss is so lucky.

The idea of ​​the story is a bit old-fashioned, and even the bloody scenes can't make the film have too many surprises. Apart from some shooting scenes in the story, there are not too many touching scenes, but after all, Jean Reno's acting skills are not false. His calm eyes, subtle twitches at the corners of his mouth, and coherent movements still carry the killer Leon. The shadow on the body, the precision of the marksmanship during revenge are also like Lyon's ability, the warmth to children and the adherence to personal principles are like Lyon's no women, no kids. In the end, in order to save the child, the shot of the boss passing through the barbed wire with difficulty makes people feel that this killer is just an ordinary person after all.

The accompanying classical melody culminates with the firing of 22 bullets. When the bullet was surgically removed, interspersed with the plot of another slain godfather in the past, the accompaniment of classical music was still played.

Reynolds' character reminds me of Marlon Brando's Corleone in The Godfather. In contrast, it still feels that Renault's performance still lacks some layers of complexity.
