Overview
Every year the Prime Minister has a list of all kinds of troublemakers eliminated in the name of the famous Reason of State. Serge Shuster, Special Adviser to the President of the Republic, finds himself on this list, better known as the Matignon List. Condemned to certain death and at the heart of an implacable plot and a state secret that also put his family in danger, Serge, his wife and children have only one hope left - their gardener, Léo, who hates it when « slugs » invade his garden... Especially those that want to kill innocent families.
MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedDavid Charhon directs this 2025 action-comedy in which a presidential adviser lands on a secret government hit list and, facing assassins and a sweeping state conspiracy, must rely on an unlikely protector: a fiercely territorial gardener with little patience for intruders. Blending political intrigue with broad humor and bursts of action, it plays its high-stakes plot for laughs. The tone is brisk, irreverent, and tongue-in-cheek. With a MagicMovieScore of 6.2, it suits viewers who enjoy comedic thrillers, fish-out-of-water heroics, and satirical romps where bureaucratic menace collides with an ordinary man's stubborn, unexpectedly lethal devotion to his patch of ground.
