Poelvoorde has good and bad movies, this one is bad.
1 May 2018 | by deloudelouvain – See all my reviews

First of all don't believe any of the positive reviews because they come from people involved in this movie or at least that know somebody that was. I do like Benoit Poelvoorde but not in this movie, just because the movie is not good. Benoit Poelvoorde is one of those actors that has good movies, the funny ones, but also a lot of bad movies, and Le Grand Soir is definitely one of the bad ones. Even if you like some Punk music, like I do, this movie is still garbage. The only good thing was the song La Bière from Les Garçons Bouchers, but I could have just listen to my CD instead of enduring this movie. Albert Dupontel plays the frustrated salesman, and he also annoying to watch. If they did one to bring a message about society they didn't achieve anything. This movie is not rebellous at all. A movie to forget about, as soon as possible.
