Who says international adventure and ridiculous car stunts are the sole purview of the Hollywood studios? Director Jerome Salle would certainly take issue with that, as he is proving with his adaptations of the Belgian Largo Winch graphic novels.
The story of a young man who inherits a massive empire when his adoptive father is murdered, with a series of globe trotting adventures following.
Though not particularly well known in America the books are huge in Europe and Salle is clearly looking to create an international action franchise for Europeans of all stripes to claim as their own.
Sharon Stone joins Tomer Sisley and Olivier Barthelmy in Salle's second film installment, the trailer for which has just arrived. And, sure, the car movie everybody's talking about right now may be Fast Five but the vehicle stunts in the trailer here look better to my eyes.
