I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
View MoreOne of my all time favorites.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
View MoreExcellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
View MoreTo start of with, this film no fun ride, nothing glossy or Hollywood like happy endings bull.. It's hard as nails, nihilistic and pretty gutwrenching. It also comes over as very realistic. The director also had a big hand in the (later) great French cop-series "Braquo" which is also excellent and very tough, and this has the same style.Sure, it may lack story, I would say it's almost like watching a documentary: a day in the life of... But the happenings that unfold are told with so much vigour and relentlessness (is that a word?) that they kept me glued to the screen the whole 107 min.Always on the lookout for anything this raw and another reviewer compared it with another French jewel "Dobermann" which as you will understand I absolutely adore as well. But the two are not at all comparable. They are in fact worlds apart with "Dobermann" being a comic-book like eurotrash/punk action adventure and this a slick slice of painful underworld realism.Absolutely stunning 9/10
View MoreA French gangster film set in Paris with a very thin plot, lots of blood & gore, little or no character studies or plot lines, violent misogynist sex. I kept watching this and waiting for a plot to emerge. It didn't happen. The film starts with episodes of the various factions or gangs involved. One gang member is imprisoned. From then the film simply becomes a series of killings and murders until few of them are left. Reservoir Dogs it is not. Meserine it is not. Ronin it is not. The screenplay appears merely to be a pastiche of the best and worst of American gangster genre. The characters here are portrayed as cold violent individuals. Some characters have no apparent place within a thin plot - just filling up road kill. All this violent mayhem in a capital city and not a single policeman in sight? I found this film to be without much merit and not one that I would watch again, or indeed recommend.
View MoreThis movie is hardcore, brutal, explicit, has a lot of whores, whores are being raped, smuggled, killed, there is also a lot of drugs and even some uranium. There are different characters, Islamic Arabs who are gangsters and love whores, drugs and Koran... just about everything. All the characters are nuts.The worst flaw of the movie is there is no observable story or plot. Things somewhat do happen in a sequential manner, one killing follows another killing, but there is no background for characters, there are no motives, just the killings. There is probably some background story of the characters, but it is completely hidden. Even the ending does not make any sense. Basically there is no beginning or ending of the movie. It just happens to start and when the number of characters reaches low numbers (because they are being murdered) it somehow stops.What was that? Is this supposed to be some new form of crime porn or something? What has happened to the French cinema? Adding one brutality over another one does not create a movie. I have seen some computer game shooters that had better story which is actually very very bad.
View MoreBad acting (philippe Caubere acts like Michel Constantin on a bad day...), cheap violence and torture (did they really need to glorify the act of drilling a hole through a kneecap, are we supposed to enjoy this?), no plot - just mean bad guys (if this was part of providing young audiences with role models I believe the director should be sued, these models are not going to give any good ideas to youngsters... ).There are much better contemporary French films around, this was just a pathetic "kill bill" try à la française, and even so, it misses the point.If you want good french stuff with suspense, violence, tough guys and a fine plot, look for "MR 73" or "36 quai des orfèvres"
