Largo Winch (2008)
Directed by Jérôme Salle

Action / Adventure / Thriller

Film Synopsis

The multi-millionaire Nerio Winch is found drowned.  His death looks suspicious, particularly as he was the founder and majority shareholder of a vast corporate empire, Group W.  The man who stands to inherit Winch's colossal fortune is Largo, a Bosnian that the business magnate secretly adopted thirty years earlier.  But Largo is locked away in a prison cell in South America, charged with drugs trafficking.  If Largo's protestations of innocence are to be believed it looks as if his arrest and Winch's death may be part of the same plot, orchestrated by someone who intends gaining control of Winch's business empire...
