I'm a sucker for man-on-the-run movies. There's a built in tension that hangs over every scene as the audience wonders if the man (or woman) on the run might be apprehended.
I liked how Classe Tous Risques used all sorts of modes of transportation as a means to escape in the first act. It had cars, a motorcycle, a bus and a boat. I was almost expecting the fleeing gangsters to gleefully (they appeared to be enjoying themselves-it's nice to see people enjoying their chosen occupation) hijack a dirigible.
Speaking of enjoying themselves. I think the secret to Jean-Paul Belmondo's acting was his bemused attitude. Whether kissing the love interest or punching out an antagonist, he seemed to have a twinkle in his eyes.
