★★★☆☆ Jean Reno: the coolest man with facial hair alive. Except in The Dead List (Aka Inside Ring, 2009), he has no beard. He's beardless. It doesn’t sound like a big thing, but like the film itself, Jean sans stubble doesn’t quite feel right. The intensity’s there, the style is there, the subtitles are there – but things don’t get hairy until the final few minutes, which makes Laurent Tuel’s gangster film a little bit of a let down.

While I can’t say that I’m particularly fond of the shooting style employed by Laurent Tuel’s Le Premier Cercle I will say that he has made one masterful casting choice in Jean Reno. The star of Luc Besson’s Leon is considered an icon for the very simple reason that he’s one of the best in the world at this particular genre and any film with the smarts to make Reno a hard-boiled man prone to violence is immediately a film worth taking a look at. In Tuel’s film Reno plays the villain, the head of a violent gang drawn into conflict with his own son when junior tries to leave the gang for a woman. Gun play will follow.
