L'Enquête Corse


The Corsican File


Jack Palmer, seorang detektif, disewa oleh seseorang untuk mencari seseorang (nah lho..) bernama Leoni yang tinggal di Pulau Korsika. Semua orang yang ditanya mengenai Leoni merasa tidak nyaman. Tak taunya Leoni adalah tokoh separatis Korsika yang disegani.

Di awal film sudah menjanjikan, tapi ke belakang kualitas cerita semakin melorot.

Nilai plusnya adalah tampilnya satu pemeran dalam film 007 Casino Royale, yaitu Caterina Murino. Tubuhnya seksi khas italiano hhhmmppphh....

Ada adegan yang dapat memancing tawa, namun lebih banyak guyon yang 'sangat Prancis', dalam artian 'you'll laugh if you're a french' hehehe... malah ada candaan yang spesifik Korsika.. mana kita tahu ya??

L'ENQUÊTE CORSE: 2,5/5
CERITA: 2,5/5
GAMBAR: 3/5
KETAWA: 2,5/5

Note (from entertainment.lycos.com):
Mild-mannered private detective Jack Palmer heads from Paris to Corsica to let a certain Ange Leoni know he's inherited an estate. Never knowing whether he'll step unwittingly into an ancient grudge, be kidnapped by armed ski mask-wearing tough guys, used as a pawn by bumbling nationalists or railroaded by legal authorities, Palmer is ready to call it quits when extremely attractive Lea offers him a rather compelling distraction.

(from fandango.com):
Les Visiteurs co-stars Jean Reno and Christian Clavier re-team for this comic book adaptation that follows a hip Parisian private eye on his quest to locate a Corsican "citizen" due to receive a large inheritance. Jack Palmer (Clavier) is a Paris-based detective whose swollen ego could cast a shadow over the Eiffel Tower. Ange Leoni (Reno) is a native of Corsica whose location can't be pinned down by even the most dogged of detectives. Approached by an obscure, small-time attorney and charged with the seemingly simple task of locating the missing Leoni, gifted gumshoe Palmer accepts the job under the false assumption that it will be the easiest money of his professional career. Soon after arriving on the island of Corsica, however, this superstar sleuth finds of just how mistaken he truly is. Not only are the locals suspiciously tight-lipped about the mysterious Corsican's whereabouts, but it quickly begins to appear as if the underworld has taken an ominous interest in Palmer's "open and shut" case as well. Later, after being brutalized by policemen, kidnapped by thugs, and having his car bombed, Palmer begins to comprehend the true futility of his search upon learning that his target is both the godfather of the Corsican mafia and France's most wanted. As the identities of the hunter and the hunted gradually become harder to distinguish, the detective is led on a wild goose chase around the picturesque island while finding the charms of Leoni's lovely wife Lea (Caterina Murino) increasingly difficult to resist. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
