The story takes place in 1830's France. As Paris teeters on the verge of revolt, the country's greatest detective is in pursuit of a masked villain. The pursuit turns deadly and Vidocq, the detective, is killed. Now its up to his biographer to piece together what happened and avenge the murder of his idol.
You'll either love this or hate it, since a good chunk of this movie is based on its flashy visual style. I tend to hate that sort of thing, but for me there was enough of a plot to keep me interested and enthralled to the end.Yes there are some cliched twists, but I didn't care the movie just moved me along with some wonderful bits. It was only at the end that I was left wanting, probably because there was too much in the way of the plot that wasn't addressed before the credits rolled. I wish we had gotten a tad more meat. Still its worth a shot.
