A mystery adventure directed by Jean-Paul Salome, starring Romain Duris.
A boy's father leaves the family to escape arrest for theft. Before he leaves, he tells his son to follow in his footsteps and steal from rich thieves. Later in life, the son endeavors to track down a set of 3 crucifixes that lead the way to unimaginable treasure. The son falls in love with his cousin and a woman who seems to be immortal.
I would equate this to a French Indiana Jones. The main character is a "man of mystery" who is an expert fighter, spy, thief and womanizer. He's suave and debonair and all that cool stuff that makes a good male lead. The plot is extremely complex and is given 2 hours and 10 minutes to play out. There's always uncertainty over who is lying and who is trying to help the main character. I'm rating this good. I can assure you that I have not gone soft and have just gotten a good batch of films.
