The Stronghold

Some viewers said this movie sucks, poor acting, directing, screenplay... I was almost convinced before to give it a try. It turned out absolutely the opposite. Great acting, great directing, fantastic screenplay and storyline. The only thing that I regret is that I don't speak French, and the dialog/conversation between or among these actors were too fast to catch on completely in time. It also proved how good these actors were in this movie, they acted so natural, talked like they were actually who they are.

The other thing about these kinds of French movies that I always felt uneasy and uncomfortable is France through the lens doesn't look like the France I have been used to see, Paris or Marseille or wherever in France, just doesn't look it should be but a miserable 3rd world, an African city in Muslim country. What the hell is going on?

This movie to me is a great one. Highly recommended.
