The Video and Audio quality of the Blu Ray is excellent however there's not many extras
Chinese cinema is getting better and better and is definitely outperforming Hollywood the adventurers is a great heist movie and is definitely worth the purchase Highly recommended
The film if very slick and has a lot of well thought out heist and action sequences. At the start for instance they steal a priceless neckless in Cannes using multiple distractions, people working on the inside and outside and then it finishes with a high speed chase. That is the style throughout.
There’s also a personal element between Lau, Reno and Lau’s girlfriend. Reno put Lau in jail even though the latter saved him. Lau’s girlfriend also resented him being a thief and is helping Reno to catch him.
Finally there’s a twist at the end as well.
All together this makes The Adventurers a top notch crime film.

So sad to see how Jean Reno has let himself go (physically), and his acting, which I've always enjoyed, is not good here.
Shu is surprising because I watched another movie 10 years older than this one. She was still flaunting her body then conservatively. So how come she can still play the leading young girl after 10 or more years? I looked her up and she is legendary. She was born in Taiwan, moved to Hong Kong at 17 to start her career in adult movies (not porn). So it's really surprising to see her so successful as a mainstream actress at 44! Playing young seductive roles!! She was in recent years the highest-paid actress in Taiwan and rank very high among Chinese celebrities according to Forbes. She must have overtaken the lifetime achievements of Brigitte Lin Ching-hsia (in her 60's now) always playing the good girl. Shu won some Asian awards and she can sing too.
It's a heist movie. The stealing is non-stop and so is the action. The budget is beyond adequate with the long list of financing Chinese companies. Helicopters, parachutes, car chases, car racks, the large number of temps. As an unusual move, they even have the detective played by an A-lister, at least in France. The high-tech gadgets are convincing.
But somehow I'm not too much into it. Maybe it's too linear? The director is telling the story at a steady pace. The thieves have impossible problems and then they solve them. The director seems to be afraid that any audience will get lost. There were no big surprises, no big twists. The plot is solid though.
The theme of the human side of the story is betrayal. It does make the movie better.
I am curious about the target audience. It couldn't be targeting the foreign box offices because how popular can it be when audiences have to read subtitles all the time? For the same reason, why pick a story that the French policeman has a significant role? But I don't really look at the subtitle much because ... it's an action movie.
The movie is certainly made in France, possibly a bit in the Czech and Ukraine. Are foreign locations and some foreign actors attractive to Chinese moviegoers?
The other thing is that Lau is Hong Kongese and Shu is Taiwanese. They and many others are popular in China as soon as the Chinese box office became decent. But after so many years, China has the money and people to make great movies. Can they find Chinese to play these roles?
There are a few clunky bits, maybe about 10 minutes in total, when they try to explicate character; but really, who cares? The leads are great, especially Shu Qi as the tough, smart "Red," and gorgeous Tony Yang as the anomalously chiseled, handsome tech guy. I'd take off one star for Jingchu Zhang's horribly wooden acting as the ex-fiancee, but I'd have to put the star back for cosmopolitanism.

This particular DVD is only in German and despite listing English as one of the languages, that is not the case. That is probably my fault for not double checking so I won't leave a poor review.
Absoluter Müll!!!
The disc is fine, great transfer, FWIW.
