Jack Mimoun & the Secrets of Val Verde

Jack Mimoun & the Secrets of Val Verde (Jack Mimoun et les secrets de Val Verde, 2022) is a French-Belgian adventure comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Directors Ludovic Colbeau-Justin and Malik Bentalha — who also stars — pick up two years after the first film: Jack Mimoun survived the hostile island of Val Verde alone and has since turned that into a TV career and a bestselling book.

A mysterious woman named Aurélie Diaz shows up with a proposition: go back to the island and find the legendary sword of the pirate La Buse. Jack brings along Bruno, his manager whose confidence outpaces his judgment by a wide margin, and Jean-Marc, a mercenary who treats every problem like a tactical problem. The four of them hit the jungle, the traps multiply, and the treasure hunt turns stranger than anyone planned.

François Damiens as Jean-Marc is the film's deadpan engine — every scene he walks into gets funnier. A solid sequel that leans harder into ensemble chaos than its predecessor. Stream Jack Mimoun & the Secrets of Val Verde (2022) online on iFILM.
