This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Highly Overrated But Still Good

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

had to see this movie accidentally, just didn't switch off a TV after a hockey. movie is great especially because of scenario. writers had been high for sure. so if you have a sense of humor or are high or both i absolutely do recommend this movie. in case 4 rows are not enough for review i'm adding one more.

Interesting French action/thriller with some problems but still worth the time. The problems are, first, that the protagonist keeps moving like the Energizer Bunny even after repeatedly suffering nearly crippling levels of bodily trauma. I once jumped from a height of around twelve to fifteen feet-- I hurt for weeks. Another time, in an ill-advised drunken scuffle, I suffered a few broken ribs, and it was a long, long time before I could move vigorously again without pretty intense pain. To borrow a famous movie line (with a minor twist), "I'll have what he's having." The second main problem with the film is that the plot is riddled with holes. If it were a cheese, it would be Swiss. Just as an obvious example, everybody in the whole world, including law enforcement, knows that this guy has a couple of million in stolen loot stashed that he is waiting to get at after he's released. Am I missing something here? In France, after you've done your prison time, is the money you stole now yours to keep and spend as you choose? I would be expecting big problems doing anything with a huge amount of hot cash, since the authorities are going to be watching pretty closely, but this issue is never even raised. There are many other worse holes in the plot too. Still, this film is redeemed due to the fact that the plot, although not as realistic and tight as it could be, is pretty original, not very predictable, and keeps moving without allowing the tension to slacken. Therefore, despite a few reservations, I can recommend this film and still sleep nice and soundly

Is the "german" title for this movie. And while it isn't really a translation of the original title it does fit well. A very action packed thriller, that has a good setting, that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I'm almost certain they will make an US remake of it, as they tend to do with good french thrillers nowadays.Actually you could say though, that this is a remake of sorts of an US film. If you don't want to know what I mean or think this might be a spoiler for the other movie just don't read the last paragraph (that's the next one). I can only tell you that if you like thrillers, than you will love this. And now onto the comparison: I think it's a bit like the Fugitive. Which of course itself was a remake and inspired by other movies. The Tommy Lee Jones role gets played by a beautiful young french actress here though, but don't be fooled by her looks. She can be as tough as she needs to be!

This movie is awful.This is nevertheless an action packed french thriller with amazing chases and fights sequences; in the line of NE LE DIS A PERSONNE or A BOUT PORTANT. But sooooo predictable !!!You can guess the ending after only twenty minutes of viewing.What a shame because Dupontel is here convincing as an actor and as a stuntman too. He shows the audience what Jean Paul Belmondo did in the seventies with features such as PEUR SUR LA VILLE, and many other films...The bad guy in this movie is interesting too, with his child molester and killer gentle sissy face. You may want to enter in the film and smash his pretty face of ideal son in law...and his wife as an accomplice is interesting too. Not so usual characters, far from clichés.But, unfortunately, I repeat, this film is too much in the American way for my taste. See what I mean?See the ending, for instance.And there are also too many improbabilities:-- How can an ex con, who spent eighteen months in the can, run faster than a trained police officer?-- And how can a man shot in the leg run like a rabbit?-- And how can the same man wounded in the belly by a buckshot bullet fall from a cliff and run away like anyone else?No, really, I hate this film. Even with his good subplots.I preferred LE CONVOYEUR, with the same Dupontel. This was a really poignant, dark and downbeat film noir as I love.This one, OUT !!!
