Dömötör Mihai (mishi-10) it's the best comedy i have ever seen... it's a type of comedy with idiots... because those "thieves" don't know nothing else but getting into trouble. i think those who made this super-film have an excellent sense of humor especially the scenarist and the director... the actors are special and each of them plays very well his character and each character is different and well clean-cut. i have seen very many good comedy movies(i'm a fan of this type of films) but nothing compares to this one(eventually scary movie 2).... the situation humor and language humor is predominating... for example Zero's type of language says everything about his character. i recommend this movie for all types of ages... its a film which everyone should see it at least once in the life. You must see it!!!!
mastershaman Another prime example of marquee names having a good ol' time collecting paychecks and having a ball making a film at the audience's expense, and the fact that these marquee names do NOT mean a thing when it comes to entertainment. I'm sure they had fun making it. The film however, is chock-full-o-cliché boring, abysmal stuff. The script is awful, the performances are third grade. The rip-offs are blatant. The plausibility of action is in the dumps. The comic stuff is strained and absolutely not funny, more like sad. Seeing aged actors trying to be funny is probably one of the worst things you could do with your precious time. Five minutes into this film I already knew what I was in for, but I stayed with it, because "it's so bad, it's good." Like for example, when a scene is set up to have the 5 Parisian low-lifer bad guys land in a super-rough Chicago hood and face a band of black thugs. The black guys only had knives (right!) and the French dudes had the guns. HAHAHA-funny! Paleeese! The producer and director obviously has the right connections to the money and the stars. If they would've attempted to make this film with unknown actors by an unknown director it probably wouldn't have made it past the script stage. It looks and feels like a generally amateurishly constructed low-budget independent fare, except with big name actors and a big budget.How do big names like Gerard Depardieu and Harvey Keitel get involved in this kind of turd totally escapes me. One would think they had better taste and a sort of responsibility to deliver to audiences worldwide who based on their attachment might just check out this worthless pieces of you-know-what. Is it the old thing about "well, on paper it looked good…"? How do "directors" like this get work in Hollywood? How do these movies get made? Who do you sleep with or lunch with in order to get such an amateurish, pathetic, awful, boring film made in the 21st century? I'm a filmmaker and what really fraggin pees me off in this equation is that fact that it probably cost 60 mil to make and you could have made 6 really good movies for that. At least.Avoid this film unless you want to study HOW not to make a film.
Chris Severn I bought this on sale at blockbuster sight unseen.. I figured how bad can it be .. harvey kitel .. it was excellent. An awesome crime/comedy i laughed and laughed .. from the beginning to the end.it just has everything you could want in a crime/comedy movie and more. i would definitely recommend it to anyone. there are a lot of movies that claim to be what this one is .. and just don't have the "get go" to make it through a feature length time frame. if i had to associated it with other films they would be Snatch, Lock Stock and two smoking barrels, Payback and others. This is one i would like to have seen on the big screen.
Claudio Carvalho After a failure in a robbery, a gang of five fumbled French and one Algerian who does not speak French flies to Chicago to heist some jewels. The gang, composed by Daniel Foray (Gérard Depardieu), Marcel Burot (Johnny Halliday), Zero (Renaud), Julien Labesse (Stéphane Freiss), Raymond Gayet (Albert Dray) and Sami (Said Taghmaoui) steal the car of a violent chief of a street gang and meet with Sophie Nicols (Joanne Kelly), who gives the address where the jewels are stored to them. However, the house indeed belongs to a local boss of Chicago Mafia, Frankie Zammeti (Harvey Keitel), and does not have any jewels, but some tapes with the plot of Zammeti for killing Angelo Giancarlo (Abe Vigode), a powerful chief of the Mafia. A corrupt FBI agent has financial interests on the tapes and chases them. The gang is also hunted by the Mafia, the street gang and the Chicago police. This movie is a combination of comedy and police story, having very funny situations. It is an excellent entertainment. The problem is the trailer, available in other DVDs, which shows basically the whole story. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): `Procurados' (`Wanted')
