With his old-school tactics and pit-bull disposition police detective Hubert Fiorentini (Reno) is all business. But his routine existence is disrupted when he learns the only woman he ever loved is dead. Summoned to Tokyo to settle her estate he soon suspects her death was no accident. When he discovers that he is the father of her spirited teenaged daughter things really get complicated.System Requirements:Running Time: 94 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: R UPC: 043396100008

This high-energy Dirty Harry in Japan stars Jean Reno (The Professional) as a maverick Paris cop with sledgehammer fists and a short temper. Promoted to sudden fatherhood when he "inherits" a spunky Japanese daughter (Ryoko Hirosue) he never knew, he becomes her droopy guardian angel, protecting her from an army of yakuza gangsters. Written and produced by Luc Besson, the former fashionista director of Euro-sleek shoot-'em-ups, this colorful B-movie blast is as gritty as an oil slick on a water slide but packed with explosive action. Director Gerard Krawczyk punctuates his gunfights with the Hong Kong school of recoil (bullets blast victims across the screen) and an undercurrent of humor. As long as you don't lean too hard on such niggling details as logic, legality, and the laws of physics, this silly, splashy, family bonding bulletfest is a spirited good time. --Sean Axmaker

I remember seeing this movie on pay per view TV once and being awestruck by it. Now that I've seen it again, I've come to appreciate it more. It helps that I think Jean Reno is a marvelous actor, regardless of the kind of Hollywood crap he appears in these days (Da Vinci Code, the American Godzilla movie, the Rollerball remake).
The plot is a little cliched (character realizes he has a long-lost relative), and the additional element of the character traveling to Japan and experiencing ... Read More

This story of French cop, Hubert (Jean Reno), who travels to Japan following the death of his former lover and discovers a 19 year-old daughter he never knew he had is not Luc Besson's finest movie (Besson wrote the script of this movie, but did not direct it), but it is entertaining enough and Reno is always worth watching. The tone of the script is very much along the lines of Besson's action-comedy, "Taxi", with elements of "Leon - the Professional" thrown in. This film does not take itself too ... Read More

I really enjoyed this movie, and have been looking for the soundtrack for years! Will say this though--it's better to watch with the subtitles, with the original actors' voices. Jean Reno does his voice in the dubbed version though so if all you can find is the dubbed version, it's still a great movie.

I am a major Jean Reno fan. I think Wasabi is one of his best works, I rented it on VHS, then bought a used copy at Blockbuster on VHS and finally decided it was time to upgrade it to DVD. It is a thoughly entertaining movie, and on a par with "Just Visiting". It is one of the real show cases of Reno's comedic/action talent. For several years now "Wasabi" is one of the standard videos I show people at video get togethers at our home.
