Additional InformationAn American ex-Mafia boss and his family are transplanted to France through the witness-protection program, but draw the attention of underworld figures who are determined to see them dead in this darkly humourous action comedy starring Robert De Niro, and directed by Luc Besson. Brooklyn kingpin Fred Manzoni (De Niro) had it all until the day he became a snitch. Now no matter how many times Agent Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones) relocates Fred and his family, danger is never far behind. When they blow their cover once again, Fred, his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer), and their two kids Warren (John D'Leo) and Belle (Dianna Agron) are shipped off to a sleepy village in France. It seems like the perfect place to escape the long arm of the lawless until the criminally-inclined family resorts to their treacherous old ways, once again becoming a blip on the syndicate radar. Now the thugs are moving in, and they mean business. As the Manzonis use their unique set of skills to survive the relentless storm of bullets, bombs, and rockets, the citizens of this peaceful French village suddenly find themselves in the middle of an all-out Mafia war zone.
ReviewsChicago Sun-Times - This is a deliberately off-kilter, cheerfully violent, hit-and-miss effort with just enough moments of inspiration to warrant a recommendation ù especially if you know what youÆre getting into., RogerEbert.com - it's best when it sticks in the realm of flat-out farce.

  • Ironic roles and great 'fun'

    I have to mentally chuckle at De Niro for playing the mob boss/ gangster father who takes his family into witness protection in France of all places. The film is a Micky take on the French, the mob who are after him as well as the U.S. marshal T L Jones who handles the family. The kids are almost prosaic but not quite, one handling the growing up and hormones, and the other showing signs of a burgeoning gangster career. Entertaining and violent but not too. De Niro is great with a touch of caricature Italian mobster and Godfather in places. Pfeiffer's accent slips at times but I like to think her character tries to be more average American than Italian mobster's wife. Besson plays down the French location by making the town very ordinary. No picturesque scenes at all. What else can I say? We enjoyed it and would recommend it as a slightly comic, light but entertaining film.
