Based on the Belgian comic book of the same name, this adventure/thriller starts when billionaire Nerio Winch dies in suspicious circumstances, leaving his adopted son Largo (Tomer Sisley) to inherit his financial empire. But Largo will need to break out of a Brazilian prison before he can take his place as head of the conglomerate, which is facing a hostile takeover in Hong Kong. Expect elaborate stunts and lashings of intrigue as Largo fights to preserve his inheritance and avenge his adoptive father. Likely to be entertaining, if not particularly original.

Just saw this and quite liked it. A decent mix of intrigue and action. Fans of the comic book will find it stays close to the spirit of Largo.
