"Double Zero" tells the story of two secret agents, played by the French comedians Eric and Ramzy, who are sent on a mission basically because they are expendable, but of course, they manage to fight heroically against the bad guys, more by chaos than strategy though. The villain is called Le Male, a joke lost in translation because in French it means "male" as well as "evil", and with all the pretty ladies around, the double meaning is important.The question is: do we really need another James Bond parody after Leslie Nielsen's Naked Gun, Johnny English and Austin Powers? Maybe not, but "Double Zero" is better than I expected and has a couple of funny ideas along the way. I liked the character of d'Auckland, a "sleeper" who is reactivated and eager to prove he can still be a great agent. And the rabbit was brilliant! So, it was okay to rent once.

I saw it in French and I loved it. Even though I couldn't understand the dialogue, the physical comedy alone was enough to make me watch the whole movie. The big effects budget and super hot women just make it better.If you liked the slap stick quality of Austin Powers, definitely check this movie out.And now a few lines to meet IMDBs minimum line requirement.Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Indeed they are ... at the expense of the backers. If this film was up for a prize then 'Double Zero' is what I'd give it.Some people may find this funny. I would not like to meet them.If these two clowns are the best 'agents' that France could find, then I'd consider emigrating 'toute suite' ...Gerard P has struck out with this one and wasted not only a great deal of money but nearly 90 minutes of human existence. His last outing with 'Riders' has been well eclipsed with this one. Anyone who remembers 'Riders' will certainly remember the awful performance by Bruce Payne. Faux American accent combined with about as much acting talent as a tin of salmon.He seems to have found a vertiable secret treasure trove of z-list actors for this.Go ahead, watch 'Double Zero' but don;t say that I didn't warn you.

I saw the DVD release of this movie a few days ago, and although it has spectacular scenes, effects, sets, etc, its a very bad film. Bad directing, plot, script Bad anonymous actors (not to mention ugly in a bad way) and bad editing. You get no sense of a movie. Its like video-clips glued together. Not to mention that the actors look like they are reading their lines, and try to be funny. A bad copy of James Bond, Charlies Angels, and various other films. I wonder how Warner Bros. approved such a film. Total disappointment. Not recommended.
