Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

IMDB-manu This movie is simply terrible. It glorifies smalltime thugs, who break into houses, steal works of art, and threaten a doctor with violence.As the morons they are, they insult one of the people they are stealing from, for not listening to the loud, obnoxious and clichéd rap music that they like.Luc Besson tries to tell the story of a group of youth down on their luck, who work together to help someone, but the reality is really different, and this is what makes me uncomfortable. They are not guardian angels, they're just thugs, who use threats to get what they want.

mikka-4 A group of Parisian free runners who follow a samurai type ethic, need to raise 400,000 francs, to arrange for a heart to be transported from a private company in Switzerland to Paris to save a boys life. They decide to steal from the 7 directors of the company because they will end up giving the money back to them for the heart anyways.So begins a frantic 6 and a half hour stealing spree, where they manage to steal 172,500 in cash and fence stolen items to make up the rest. They get caught but lucky for them, a friend of theirs is a police inspector, who backs up their story and they get released due to lack of evidence.Free running tricks and aerobatics are exceptional. Well worth a look

mihakovac OK, so I'm a fan of Luc Besson.So when his name popped up in my TV guide, I was trilled. I got my popcorn ready, reserved the best seat in the house and had a VHS tape ready to record the movie. I was set to go.Then is started.Started quite good, I had a good feeling, but then it just got worse. And for worse, I mean, it sucked. I stopped the tape 20 min into the movie. I stopped watching about 1h into the movie. I just couldn't handle it anymore.The whole story, the acting, the dialog was so amazingly stupid, unrealistic and on a 10 year old level, I was really surprised (and worried as well) that Besson had ANYTHING to do with it. Without a doubt, I could make a better movie. Anyone could.I'll give it a 2 out of 10, just cos.. I don't know really. Deserves a 1 anyhow. One of the worse I've seen for a long time.

tiqtoq This film was a total disappointment. Aside from a few stunts sprinkled throughout, it was a real dog. Bad acting, labored dialogue and cliche after cliche abound until the viewer is forced to just speed through the thing until you see people jumping around. Skip it. If you don't know anything about Parkour, this may spark your interest. If you've seen the commercials on Nike and other places about the amazing stunts that some of these people do, you aren't going to find anything here. What's more interesting is the pan-ethnic group itself and the obvious Arab/Black discrimination that goes on in France. It's interesting that most of the Traceurs are of Arab and Asian descent. Just as hip-hop and rap are the voice of the underclass here, so it is in France with the Arab underclass.
