Micmacs (2009)
This French film is from Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the director of Amelie (2001), and stars Dany Boon. A man with a bullet lodged in his head seeks revenge against the two arms companies that have ruined his life.
Billed as a satire of the the arms trade this is more of an off beat French take on Yojimbo (1961). Once you realise where the plot is going and that all the bizarre talents of the protagonists friends are magically going to come in handy there are not a lot of surprises. Despite the lack of originality in the plot there is still enough humour and surreal tint to the action that the film is more than entertaining.
4/5
