Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jean Reno plays 'Claude Van De Velde' — a clear nod to JCVD, whom Reno starred with in 'Léon.' The film is basically one giant action star in-joke.
The 'film within a film' structure lets Hart mock his own brand while still cashing the check — it's 'Tropic Thunder' for the algorithm era, less teeth, more IP safety.
