Synopsis
One day a 12-year old girl named Alice walks into a police station and states that her
mother is a murderer. When the police refuse to take her seriously, she has no option
than to go on the run. She meets a strange man, Hugo, who belongs to an organisation
engaged in an armed combat for world freedom. They head for Portugal to look for
the girl’s missing father, and end up being pursued by a gang of ruthless killers...
Film Review
Sirène rouge is yet another slavish attempt
by a French film director to imitate the American blockbuster action thriller. With
an implausible storyline, two dimensional characters and the most pretentious and distracting
production design imaginable (the kind you’d find in teenager’s computer game), the film
manages to be both tedious and juvenile, a thoroughly vacuous and unrewarding excursion
into the abyss of mediocrity.
