Watched this with my wife this evening and it was excellent. Stylish, fast moving, the heroine was excellent and in fact all the cast was pretty competent. The plot involves a female assassin who carries out a hit job, but can't bring herself to kill a girl singer who reminds her of her sister and to some extent herself. The story then proceeds rapidly with some great stunts and a fast moving body count. You'll definitely be urging her on as the plot twists this way and that. Omar Sy as the French cop is great ass well and you'll recognise other cast members from recent series too.

We thought it was fast paced and very watchable. I simply don't see why it is scoring under 6!

This is hard. The cast is perfect, the acting great, the 2 leads and the supporting cast are terrific. Even the story is intriguing! Up to about Episode 20 I was totally on board, but then it started to drag. I think 36 episodes, even slightly shorter ones, are just too much. I am guessing the Director wanted to stay faithful to the book, but a shorter version would have been better visually and would have been more concise. My wife and I couldn't deal with all of it, so we skipped to the last 4 episodes. We didn't seem to have missed much and the story still made sense.

Only watch it if you can deal with the length. It is beautiful and impeccably acted, but just too long.
