Instead of finding people, he meets a giant killer who hunts him ruthlessly. Highly recommended.

In this scene, we see the Captain wielding his power over the office workers by controlling their water supply. At the end of the scene, we see the Man watching them through a pair of binoculars, planning to steal a car battery from them for his flying machine:

    One of Jean Reno’s best performances, imo.

    @Craig – What do you say? Is Jean Reno’s performance in this better than in The Professional?
