Difficult to find the spirit of Walthéry’s comics in this prequel too devoid of humor. Natacha is systematically attacked on his physique (“She is ugly” or “I’m getting rid of the ugly “), the intrigue is delighting in simplism, the secondary characters stand above all from the caricature (a minister camped by Didier Bourdon wants to draw all the glory of the rescue of the Mona Lisa, which Isabelle Adjani embodies with a lot of derision a mafia descendant) and the dialogues often lack salt.
However, everything is not to be thrown into this globally distant comedy. Camille Lou multiplies cinematographic disguises and references (especially at Mission : Impossible), she goes from the train (with pigs) to the sidecar, to the boat and to the plane at a sustained pace, and, above all, Noémie Saglio has the good idea to comment on the action in voiceover by Fabrice Luchini.
