Editorial Reviews

France released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: French ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Alternative Footage, Cast/Crew Interview(s), Deleted Scenes, Interactive Menu, Making Of, Special Edition, Teaser(s), Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Les Visiteurs co-stars Jean Reno and Christian Clavier re-team for this comic book adaptation that follows a hip Parisian private eye on his quest to locate a Corsican "citizen" due to receive a large inheritance. Jack Palmer (Clavier) is a Paris-based detective whose swollen ego could cast a shadow over the Eiffel Tower. Ange Leoni (Reno) is a native of Corsica whose location can't be pinned down by even the most dogged of detectives. Approached by an obscure, small-time attorney and charged with the seemingly simple task of locating the missing Leoni, gifted gumshoe Palmer accepts the job under the false assumption that it will be the easiest money of his professional career. Soon after arriving on the island of Corsica, however, this superstar sleuth finds of just how mistaken he truly is. Not only are the locals suspiciously tight-lipped about the mysterious Corsican's whereabouts, but it quickly begins to appear as if the underworld has taken an ominous interest in Palmer's "open and shut" case as well. Later, after being brutalized by policemen, kidnapped by thugs, and having his car bombed, Palmer begins to comprehend the true futility of his search upon learning that his target is both the godfather of the Corsican mafia and France's most wanted. As the identities of the hunter and the hunted gradually become harder to distinguish, the detective is led on a wild goose chase around the picturesque island while finding the charms of Leoni's lovely wife Lea (Caterina Murin...The Corsican File ( L'Enquête Corse )

3.0 out of 5 stars A few good moments but nothing to get excited about, September 10, 2010
This review is from: The Corsican File ( L'Enquête Corse ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - France ] (DVD)

L'Enquete Corse aka The Corsican File is a disposable French action comedy that's light on the action and the comedy and whose sole distinction is tempting Jean Reno and Christian Clavier to team up again after their success with Les Visiteurs. Clavier's a Parisian private detective tricked into tracking down Reno's Corsican separatist, ostensibly to inform him of an inheritance. Most of the usual fish out of water culture clashes make their scheduled appearances without troubling the funny bone. What few laughs there are come at the expense of the local nationalist terrorist groups who are even more divided than the Judean People's Front and the local law enforcement networks who are just as obsessed with turf wars and internecine infighting. There is one funny sequence with one of the would-be Separatists buying tampons to use for fuses, but the film is far too formulaic to offer more, running out of steam long before the odd couple find themselves on the run. It's glossy and inoffensive enough and the scenery and Caterina Murano both look nice, but it's nothing you really need to see.

The French PAL DVD offers a good 2.35:1 widescreen transfer with optional English and Corsican subtitles, though the plentiful extras - deleted scenes, outtakes, featurettes and interview with composer Alexandre Desplat - are all unsubtitled.
