The only heir to a massive corporate empire must fend off a variety of thugs, both violent and white collar, to rise to the leaderhip role, succeed his adoptive father and discover his killer.

• Poster: B

Review:

It's sleek and sexy, which is what's needed to sell this type of film to modern audiences. It easily creates a setting for the film within the high powered corporate world, though the tiny knife Largo carries isn't enough to suggest the violence and action viewers will be seeing.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

Cut like a standard action film, this trailer doesn't break new ground but, for a foreign import, works quite well to drum up interest in a movie that's not likely to ever move to wide distribution.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:
