Synopsis

Hubert is a French policeman with very sharp methods. After being forced to take 2 months off by his boss, who doesn't share his view on working methods, he goes back to Japan, where he used to work 19 years ago, to settle the probate of his girlfriend who left him shortly after marriage without a trace.

Community Reviews

Viewers generally find 'Wasabi' to be a delightful blend of humor, action, and emotion, with Jean Reno's performance particularly praised for adding a significant charm. The film's pacing keeps it engaging, and its comedic elements are consistently highlighted as a highlight. However, some find the plot a bit thin and the portrayal of certain characters, especially the daughter, as underdeveloped. The setting in Japan adds visual appeal but isn't fully utilized in the storyline.

👍 Jean Reno's performance is a standout.

👎 Plot might feel underdeveloped to some.
