Der Profi 2

The 80s were a decade when the great actor Jean Paul Belmondo produced one action film after the other. Some were good, some not. This one was marketed as The Professional II in some countries, ludicrous because the professional dies in part 1. But it shows the main issue: the film has no real identity. It is a string of action scenes around a basically non existing storyline. I keep confusinv it with the better Le Marginal because they are so similiar. Both films have the same director and partially the same actors. This film is essentially painting by numbers: which elements do we need for a generic Belmondo film. Having said that Belmondo is probably the only person in the world who can make a Peugeoz 505 look cool.
