Brothers of the Wind is narrated by Jean Reno. Narration is invariably flaccid, sloppy writing, but Reno’s voiceover is damn near cacophonous — and, in this case, contrived. How many Tyroleans do you think speak English to each other?

Flashbacks, voice-over, a deadly steering wheel, and a yacht called “Mrs. Gayle.” You can’t make this stuff up… but Perry did.
