First the subtitles issue. Most people will be watching this on streaming. There is a major problem with stream versions. My conversational French is ok. I don't know any Russian. On Amazon prime this film has hard coded subtitles, meaning they are in the video stream and you are unable to turn them off -- and most importantly -- adjust background. The subtitles are white with no background, so in all but the darkest of scenes they are at least half unreadable. About 15% of the spoken dialogue in this film is English, about 15% Russian, and about 70% French. Unless you are fluent in all, and in the case of French already know the terminology in international banking and finance, you are going to have trouble following certain plot lines.
Now in terms of the film itself, there are just too many plot holes. The complexity the script writers seem to have intended comes off as a forced/artificial affectation. And the unrealistic nature of it creates narrative problems. In other worlds the more you pay attention the more you realize the plot is a mess and characters actions ridiculous.
