30 seconds into the film I'm looking up the description on IMDb. Not a comedy? Then why are such good actors playing it so bloody stupid? Probably because the script is way, way, way beyond stupid.
I'm always amazed at these types of films. Didn't any of these 'famous' actors read the script before signing on?
Anyone who saw fit to put this big, festering pile of bat guano on the silver screen should be taken out back and shot. Bad acting in a bad movie with a bad script populated by gross charactures of even more unrealistic people. Robert Duval used to be good. Downy, Jr was a character of a character of himself.

I came here to write a clever review of a paradoxical film, but 'doctorrugger' pretty much summed up all you need to know about the film. It is 'two films' ultimately.
Director Florent-Emilio Siri (of the wonderful "L'ennemi intime") has the chops to make a vacuous script worthy of a made-for TV biopic engrossing from almost the first frame of the film. A stellar performance by Jérémie Renier doesn't hurt either. You really don't like this guy, and that's the point. I wouldn't necessarily call him a 'no- talent ass-clown, but, he certainly had the heart of one.
I recommend watching online video of Claude François BEFORE watching the film. Jérémie Renier's performance makes the real Cloclo seem absolutely wooden.
