A real bad lucky guy!!!
16 November 2018 | by elo-equipamentos – See all my reviews

Expecting more when start to wach this neo color french noir that in opening scene show us an upcoming weird picture, a cheap and stupid guy who works as salesman on black market maybe stolen things for door to door, the main weird character is in real case of mind study whom featured in the movie, talking alone and louder almost crazy, the way that the things will developing becames worst each more step ahead, a bit of psychology was wisely used suddenly by the bad lucky boy's boss, odd but fine entertainment for something different approach of a french's school of cinema non commercially field!!
