Let me first say, that for an international French film, by a newb (his first full length feature film) writer and director, Guillaume Pierret, this film was one heck of a ride. I agree with most reviewers that this should not be compared to any Hollywood blockbusters (my title was being facetious). Albeit not overly original, this fun action/crime film was really well put together. The writing was tight and the directing on point. I've seen seasoned writers and directors come up with some flop films lately, so it's refreshing for a new filmmaker to come up with an almost flawless production. The 92 min runtime was just right, and the pacing was perfect. Cinematography was good, and the score surprisingly fitting for a B-grade international production. Casting was well put together with all performances convincing, especially the French Jason Statham looking, Alban Lenoir as Lino. I'm glad they left it open for a sequel, and hope they follow through. A well deserved 8/10 from me. To see more of my 1000+ ratings and 900+ reviews, click on my username.
