Paris. 1830. In the heart of the town, Vidocq, a famous detective, disappeared as he fights the Alchemist, an assassin that he has been pursuing for a few months. His young biographer, Etienne Boisset, decides to have revenge on Vidocq's death and takes the investigation on… This movie is just great!! I have no other words for it.<br/><br/>The acting is great, the music is great and especially the scenery is great! The whole atmosphere of this movie is captivating. After seeing the first five minutes you'll fall in love with it! Besides that, Guillaume Canet is just a pleasure to look at.<br/><br/>If you''re planning to watching the movie, stop here! Spoilers are coming up!<br/><br/>The only thing that kind of dissappointed me was "supposedly" the last scene with the Alchemist in it. When he falls down into the water, the special effects are bad! it reminded me of harry potter and the philosophers stone during the quidditch game. It was just like ending up in a computer game. And although that can be nice, it's not in this movie.<br/><br/>The plot is also very good! near the end of the mystery you kind of see it coming, but that will not ruin it for you.<br/><br/>Overall, I think it's a wonderful movie!!!!! Jess Although this movie maybe French, it's one off the greatest films I've ever seen. Not only the story is exciting also the actors do a great job. The movie is one special effect. You're life will never be the same after seeing this movie.
