Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

beigas had to see this movie accidentally, just didn't switch off a TV after a hockey. movie is great especially because of scenario. writers had been high for sure. so if you have a sense of humor or are high or both i absolutely do recommend this movie. in case 4 rows are not enough for review i'm adding one more.

movie reviews This is a well made well written (the key!) French crime thriller that keeps you entertained.I enjoyed the French prison part (are they really like this?) with what looked like private bathrooms pillows and desks pens and books etc... The inmates are entertained by cello and harpsichord chamber music (that was funny).Anyway there are surprises which I love. I even liked the chases up to a point the escape from massive police operations seemed too impossible crack a whip over the writers a little harder there. Also by the time of denouement at the villa I was tiring of the movie...maybe because the first part was so good. And the ending with the letter wasn't needed just adds gimmick to this good movie.I watched the movie Blood and Wine with Jack Nicholson and Michael Cain last night and the comparison couldn't be starker...this movie was 100 times more entertaining and better shot and directed. I speak French but makes no difference use the subtitles anyway so I don't miss anything.RECOMMEND!

writers_reign This is a first rate example of what we may call the Olivier Marshal school of French film making, all the more effective because the cast, whilst well known in France are not exactly 'names' and are virtually unknown outside France other than to French film buffs. Six years ago Albert Dupontel was playing a concert pianist in Danielle Thompson's superb Fauteuils d'Orchestre, now he is a convicted bank robber turned hunter who is himself being hunted by a crack - or maybe not since he keeps eluding them - police team led by Alice Taglioni, more at home in romantic comedy (La Doublure) than thrillers but like Marina Fois before her she makes the transition smoothly and painlessly. The corruption among prison officers is virtually thrown away and so matter of fact that we can only assume it is widely accepted in France but the real virtue of the film is the pace which never lets up possibly because if it did we might actually question the seeming invincibility of Dupontel. In the last few years both Olivier Marshal (36, Quai des Orfevres) and Guillaume Canet (Ne le dis personne) have both turned out first-rate thrillers very similar to Le Proie and slightly superior but in both cases they have had the benefit of large budgets and heavy-hitters in the casts but pound-for-pound Le Proie can stand beside either. Excellent.

kosmasp Is the "german" title for this movie. And while it isn't really a translation of the original title it does fit well. A very action packed thriller, that has a good setting, that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I'm almost certain they will make an US remake of it, as they tend to do with good french thrillers nowadays.Actually you could say though, that this is a remake of sorts of an US film. If you don't want to know what I mean or think this might be a spoiler for the other movie just don't read the last paragraph (that's the next one). I can only tell you that if you like thrillers, than you will love this. And now onto the comparison: I think it's a bit like the Fugitive. Which of course itself was a remake and inspired by other movies. The Tommy Lee Jones role gets played by a beautiful young french actress here though, but don't be fooled by her looks. She can be as tough as she needs to be!
