Not the ultimate french Heat yet, but..., 7 March 2009

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I was very surprised and pleased to watch this fairly good french crime actionner. I did not expect so much. First, I tried it because it's a gangster film. But I don't like Jean Reno. Except in LE GRAND BLEU, or LEON - THE PROFESSIONNAL - he's always been bad actor, a lousy one.

In this movie, he's perhaps not at his best but his character is rather convincing. A gang leader whose the son - Ulliel - doesn't want to follow his father's group in his criminal activities; robberies under violence. This sounds familiar but the action sequences are pretty well done. especially during the heist one, nearly the end. It reminds me an actual event, a daring robbery which occurred in France in August 1996, on the Perpignan Airport. But that's another story.

What's interesting in this feature is that it is not the good guys vs the bad guys scheme. The cop played by Bouadjila is not usual. He is not the sympathetic cop, but without being the nasty one either. Interesting indeed.

And, above all, the end is ABSOLUTELY surprising.

NO ONE would bet on it!!!

And I love that.
