A mafia boss and his family are relocated to a sleepy town in France
under the witness protection program after snitching on the mob. Despite
the best efforts of CIA Agent Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones) to keep them in line, Fred Manzoni (Robert De Niro), his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer) and their children Belle (Dianna Agron) and Warren (John D'Leo)
can't help but revert to old habits and blow their cover by handling
their problems the "family" way, enabling their former mafia cronies to
track them down. Chaos ensues as old scores are settled in the
unlikeliest of settings in this darkly funny film by Luc Besson (Taken, Transporter). The Manzoni family, a notorious mafia clan, is relocated to Normandy,
France under the witness protection program, where fitting in soon
becomes challenging as their old habits die hard.

Review :
David Twohy is back to his roots, and thankfully coincides "Riddick"
with the tone and plot-line of the cult-classic "Pitch Black", rather
than the overblown and messed up "The Chronicles of Riddick". It might
have quite a few recurring elements from the series' first installment,
but to Twohy's credit, the film also ends up standing on its own as one
of those darkly haunting sci-fi tales that's interlaces plenty of
action, suspense, and horror, to keep you riveted and guessing till the
end. The monsters are scary, well-made, and appear only when required,
so that they are used as a major plot device to add a lot of depth to
the narrative. The actions is brilliant, but never overdone, and
successfully enhances your viewing pleasure instead of numbing your
senses (as is the case in most overblown CGI fiascos passing of as sci-
fi nowadays).
The character of Riddick has already been established as a sardonic, strong, dubious, and enigmatic personality, and here, this dark anti- hero just grows on you with each passing frame. Vin Diesel brings all his star power and macho charisma to the role once again, and reminds you why he's currently one of the world's biggest moviestars. The rest of the cast, especially Katee Sackhoff also do a good job. "Riddick" is a treat for hardcore sci-fi fans as well as fans of the franchise, and is sure to remain with you long after leaving the cinema hall.
