Paris Has Fallen: A Very Effective French 24 Heures Chrono (Review)

A sort of 24 made in France, this original creation is sufficiently breathtaking and explosive to look straight in the eye its Hollywood inspirations and the film saga from which it is taken.

The action thriller that blows everything up: it’s a genre that StudioCanal had not yet experimented with. A very Hollywood genre. So logically the French group went to draw on an American franchise, the saga Has Fallento produce his first original creation at the Die Hard. More precisely, there is a little air of 24 Hours Chrono “Eiffel Tower Edition” in Paris Has Fallena totally assumed popcorn series, which leads a national security agent on the trail of a terrorist thirsty for revenge…

Vincent is protecting the Minister of Defense when a heavily armed group invades the British Embassy. At its head: a former soldier of the Foreign Legion, left for dead in Afghanistan and determined to set France ablaze…

Tewfik Jallab (Pax Massilia) takes up the costume that he wore Gerard Butler In The Fall of the White House and its sequels. He doesn’t have much to envy him, as he plays the trigger with spectacular charisma, in this supercharged thriller. A fun action series that doesn’t hide its inspirations and joyfully builds its figure of the French John McClane, making him gallop to the four corners of the capital, decked out with a rather fun British sidekick.

Paris Has Fallen also has the merit of never letting up the pressure and each episode enjoys an undeniable epic breath. All this is obviously far too excessive to be even slightly credible. But who really believed that Jack Bauer could really defuse a nuclear plot in a few hours?

Paris has Fallen, in 8 episodes, to watch on Canal + from September 23, 2024
