The French have just sold a new high-power M51 rocket to the Russians for crazy money. Unfortunately for them, the rocket was hijacked before they could get it of their hands. However, not just any fool is up to neutralizing this threat, but only the craziest and most stupid of them can cope with such a task. An unforgettable voyage awaits them - from Paris to the fairytale Jamaica and right into the enemy's lair! Nothing can stop these bunglers, not tanks, not ninjas and not even a team of top models! No, these guys have their own style, which seems to save the day...

Double zéro (2004) Reviews
Great Parody
I never intended to watch this movie. I went to the mall, but as traffic was very high, I was late. So, the only tickets that I could get where these. As the movie started, I was beginning to think that I had made a mistake. It looked like a trivial/boring "James Bond"-style movie. But after watching further, I changed my opinion. I think this movie achieved its aim. It is very funny (in a "French" way, I'm thinking here at "Taxi" and "Tais-toi!") showing how meaningless a lot of "James Bond" style movies are. Even if the action was somehow silly (sometimes even a lot exaggerated), it represented a "comic" look of the "007" movies. All in all, the movie is a great parody and I really recommend it to anybody who has a strong sense of humor. Whoever loved "Taxi", "Tais-to!" or Louis de Funes movies, will love this one too.
devoid of interest
Eric & Ramzy are usually good in comedy shows in theater and TV, but when it comes to this movie, it's a complete failure, not unlike their previous project La Tour Montparnasse Infernale. Austin-powers wannabe attempt, this movie completely lacks humor and is full of bad, very bad jokes. I don't know what M. Pires had in mind when he shot this flick, but such comedies have already been done in the past, more successfully. Unfortunately for M. Pires, the jokes are difficult to get for foreigners, but not only for them, as even for a French person it is hard to find moments that can be enjoyed and lead the audience to laugh. If you wanna see a good movie in this vein, better watch the Austin Powers series or even Leslie Nielsen films than wasting any time with this clone.
there's something wrong with Hollywood...
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.
Someone's having a laugh ...
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.
It is a question of nationality and point of view
You know, french humor is very special. You have to be french to understand and to like our movies. The two main actors are comics and they are very successful in France... The movie has a real sense: to prove that to stupid guys can save the world, but they won't do it on purpose. It is exactly the opposite of the US films where everybody is wonderful and intelligent... The guide line shows that not everybody is great and can make everything he wants. It is the contrary of the American Dream, and that's why most people that are now guided by that dream, don't like this film You should watch "The Simpsons", and if you find a sense to that, you'll find a sense to "Double Zero".
