Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBoth the film and the book it's adapted from are loosely based on a seventies gang war between Jacques Imbert aka "Jacky Le Mat" (considered to be the last "Don" of Marseille) and Tany Zampa. Just like Charly Matteï in the film, Jacky was left for dead on a parking lot with 22 bullets in his body by Zampa, yet miraculously survived with only his right arm remaining paralyzed.
- GoofsCharly's right arm is supposed to be paralyzed yet, whenever he is riding the motorcycle, he works the controls as if his arm and hand are perfectly normal.

Featured review
Great action movie, love and hate well combined
I am fond of thriller movies where dramatic events happen in the very beginning. And where you must follow the plot intensely, not just nodding and seeking clichés... There are lots of events and lines where it is not sure what the solutions will be.
Jean Reno's character fills most of the scenes and all this is enjoyable to watch - he is one of the finest French contemporary actors. L'immortel, of course, is not as good and popular as Leon, or Ronin, where Reno has starred before, but it is still a highly recommendable action movie where fans of Luc Besson's work will not become disappointed.
