ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

grant kenny A good movie take the big moment of this movie the heist is great entertainment. legendary film actors jean reno with amazing credential in movies.Why the bad reviews here it,s a amazing action movie.If you eliminate the low Budget this could be a huge movie.The Plot line is also weak but the "big" scene and the action is great.Anyway, I suppose, based on the reviews for this movie that France won,t produce more of those movies.If you go in not expecting much you may very well enjoy this great movie. if you go in expected the action movie of the year you may be disappointed.But still a great movie

Bantam This one is a straight forward, no-frills action flick. No twists, no turns. The cast is decent and the story is plausible without being too cliché laden. Nonetheless, for European audiences some of the action (and subsequently its impact on the "environment" and the consequences for the cops) might seem over-the-top. But we've learned to live with the fact, that "action cops" can blow up a building, to get a pickpocket. And it just earns them 3 weeks behind the desk.Most of the dialogue is okay, some exchanges are even funny, without being silly. But it's not a Lethal Weapon/Die Hard kinda thing.Directing goes okay even though some of the action sequences are a tiny bit hectic- the cuts made during editing look a bit like they were made on purpose to emphasize the intense exchange of gunfire. IMO here less would have been more. It would be more en par with the rest of the movie. But in general the overall pace is okay.As mentioned, the story is a no-frills crime/thriller which is suitable for a decent action flick. Do not expect too much from it, though.Unfortunately Jean Reno has gotten old. You can tell by the way he moves in several shots- also, when the action kicks in he is "magically" more agile, thanks to stunt people. But he still does well as an aging cop. I just do not like the full beard he is sporting in this one.To sum it up, it's a decent French action flick, liberally borrowing from American action cinema in terms of craftsmanship.

Beni Bogosel I looked forward to seeing this movie as I like Jean Reno very much. Unfortunately, this movie was a bit of a disappointment. The premise was nice, having a police squad which does what it needs to do in order to stop crime, even if this means using some non-standard methods. Unfortunately, the action scenes showed that they do not seem at all professionals. For example, in the final showdown where the bad guys are heavily armed, there are two members of the squad who insist in using a baseball and an iron bar to beat some of the bad guys. Not to mention one of the initial scenes where in order to put down one of the bad guys Jean Reno comes with an excavator through a wall... Why??? How absurd is that? Then it comes the chase in Paris where the squad runs after the bad guys, but to my surprise the police is nowhere to be found even if they exchange gunshots in populated public places... Then, instead of sealing the parking, Jean Reno and his lover go alone in the dark, searching for the bad guys, providing a perfect opportunity for the girl to be killed... Another point is the dialogs, which do not seem at all natural. It feels that they are cut and pasted together, and even if I'm not French, I can tell that the accent of some of the actors is at least bizarre (Margaux, for example). Another fact which made the movie so dull is seeing Jean Reno walk. It is so obvious that he is old, too old to portray a cop which leads a brigade which fights crime directly.

GUENOT PHILIPPE I can't believe it. How can anyone may find this crime action flick worth? How? What a deception for me. After I watched the trailer, I expected the worst, I expected a pure comedy like LETHAL WEAPON, but it is not. You have here some comedy lines but that's all. The main problem is else where. Everything here is predictable, dull, a total mess. Benjamin Rocher gave us several years ago a short film called RIVOUALEN which was a true masterpiece, and after he made LA HORDE, a very exciting horror film too. And I don't understand why he made this juicy straight to garbage can crap. When I go to see a crime flick speaking of Sweeney and bank robbers, I expect a brutal, bloody, crepuscular, dark, bleak feature, as JP Melville did 40 years ago, or Olivier Marchal gives us since 15 years now. I don't expect such a crap. What's happened to Benjamin Rocher? The scene where Jean Reno is hit by a car, thrown in the air and then gets away with only a scratch on his forehead, I realize how deep in s... this movie dove. Run away from it !!!
