Apparently filmed before the Charlie Hebdo massacre but released after, this action movie is loaned a gritty political realism through its Paris setting, a city that in the movie experiences an act of terrorism and a chaotic aftermath as multiple agencies descend on the city to chase the pickpocket assumed responsible, but that the gritty realism was unintended becomes clear as the pickpocket and Idris Elba's CIA operative form a Lethal Weapon pair of mismatched crime fighters who run around Paris dodging bullets until a really not very sensible Die Hard siege ending.
★★☆☆☆
