Oh my, I think I've never seen a movie so uneventful, so jejune that I kept on looking at my watch. This French "action-comedy" released on Netflix caught my attention as it was advertised as a French action-thriller, instead of what I got is a tedious "comedy" with no stakes and nothing noteworthy. This film's "plot" essentially follows two thieves out for one last mission.
I will say though that the cinematography is beautiful, with great shots emphasizing the beauty of Europe, that's it. My biggest problem is that nothing feels at stake here, theres no real problem that needs to be solved, characters just hang around for half of the runtime and decide what to do and when and plot points are brought up without any previous build-up to it. The movie didn't make me care enough about the characters, the actors weren't bad or anything but god I cant stand how annoying they were in here! So much of the runtime is spent on them chatting trivial nonsense which is supposed to be funny? The action scenes themselves are too bland and lack any real tension making for a reasonably dull experience with the climax at the apartment being the only one worth mentioning but even that is undermined by one of the worst endings I've ever seen.
Overall a very dull and monotonous movie which is a shame cause the lead actors are wonderful in other movies but are undermined with tedious direction and a script written by high-school teenagers. Skip this one and go outside have whatever.
