Reception
Nicolas Jouenne of Le Figaro said, "And you must admit that the two actors stick to their characters perfectly! Although he has not adopted the unmistakable look of Jack Palmer, Christian Clavier is shown in a relatively convincing interpretation while retaining far from his usual bidding a bit boring. Facing him, Jean Reno turns out perfect in solitary independence leader and blood, in addition to the Corsican accent!"[http://tvmag.lefigaro.fr/programme-tv/article/film/40524/l-enqu%C3%83%C2%AAte-corse-clavier-et-reno-sous-le-soleil.html "L'Enquête corse : Clavier et Reno sous le soleil" (in French)], Le Figaro, 21 October 2008.
