Review of Yamakasi

Yamakasi (2001)
2/10
Target : dumbs
23 April 2003
The non-french-speaking people maybe didn't notice how bad the actors are. That's a first bad point. The morality is rather stupid : the "powerful" (doctors, politics) are bad, and rich enough to allow anyone to rob them, robbing is a crime but not when you really need the cash now and when you think the people you rob have too much money. Great. Nobody thought about asking why a boy who felt from a small tree should have a heart transplant in the next twelve hours... It was the main question for me, but the characters are here naive, they are of the kind who think that a surgeon finds medical solutions when he has a gun pointing his head. It's a story like the ones kids create in the school yard mixed with money frustrations of the grown-up : it targets dummies, and this is not funny, because people with that lack of morality and ability to think do exist in parisian suburbs, those might need better movies than this stupid mirror of their state of mind. I'll save maybe two minutes of the entire picture (the acrobatic missed suicide for instance), the rest can move to the trash.
