oragex Yes, big, big french names.Dialogues - worst than your regular soap opera.Acting - trained dogs would act better. You read right, among the most recognized french actors not only have no clue, not only it looks like improvisation, but in this movie they act like I did when I had for the first time a role on a theater scene.Directing - see above. Either there was no directing in this movie, either the director had diarrhea and felt no relief during the filming.Plot - where is it? Maybe the director was reading it while waiting on a toilet for mentioned issue.You know, I had a thought. It's nice to bring (old) big names on the screen, to get people driven by nostalgia to visit the theater. But when you ruin a movie in such way, that also ruins the memories.
buktel I would like Delon and Belmondo had come together for the second time at least ten years earlier. Then the action scenes would be not only more credible but more creative, too. The story of the film is basically creative, but the action scenes take more than enough time while the real asset of the story (and of the film, too) was not the action but the relation of the three major characters. I would like to see much more scenes about the relations of the extraordinary characters and smart dialogs among them, that is, I would rather to enjoy the magnetism of the acting and personalities of the extraordinary triangle of Delon/Belmondo/Paradis than to watch the ordinary explosions, ordinary mafia guys, ordinary car chases, ordinary flying bullets and the other similarly ordinary trifles.Delon and Belmondo must come together for a third time, and this time without waiting for ten years more. Yes it may be already late. But now is better than later or never.
msbsegal I have seen this great movie at least 3 times and enjoyed it even more the third time. Of course I saw it in French and for sure it is nothing like a translation. You can feel it throughout the movie how much fun Delon and Belmondo have in playing together, they are enjoying themselves, they have a day of it. What more can you say of the greatest stars of the French cinema for the last 50 years, I have seen almost all of their separate and joint movies, like "Borsalino": but in Borsalino you did not have the same feeling of complicity, which transpires here. All "the most this" and "most that" are pale in comparison to the pleasure you have at seeing them doing what they do best : throwing grenades and pulling the casino down...Vanessa Paradis is new to me, and gave a good show. Some of her scenes with the two lead men are quite moving. I have come to enjoy Eric Defosse, whom we saw as Carella in the "Frank Riva" series. I like him he will go far. This a film to enjoy and laugh..
lyl-1 Excellent duet of two the best French actors (Belmondo & Delon) who never played together before. And normal Russian language (pronunciation) and Russian people (not rough Hollywood stamp, but french humour). It is real light French cinema.
