No Limit

Luc Besson has clearly established himself as one of the most renown current French filmmakers, whose many creations have already obtained cult status and/or general fame. Despite the fact that the recent decade or so has seen the French crime series moving into/towards Scandinavian noir, the series like Taxi, Transporter or the one in question have their steadfast place among related series.

Unlike e.g. Tarantino, Besson does not amuse with crimes or violence, but his characters and still "very French" and able to issue funny or foolish lines during harsh situations... The cast is evenly strong and distinct, with Vincent Elbaz as Vincent Libérati and Damien Jouillerot as Tony Massart create most funny and odd situations, particularly when together... True, some scenes are too hyperbolic and some others do not provide any complement to the Series, but there are no totally ridiculous scenes as often in similar US series. Season 1 and 2 are the best and fastest, Season 3 shows some signs of tardiness and weariness (which is probably the reason why Season 4 was canceled, although Season 3 ends strangely).

All in all, a good series, along the lines of Taxi and The Transporter, but more compact than the latter. It is advisable to watch all episodes in sequence, otherwise summaries and flashbacks may be confusing, as the dynamic of personal relations of the main characters play a crucial role in understanding most acts and deeds.

Watched series 1 and 2 but had to concede defeat at the start of the 3rd. My mind had to give up after coincidence after coincidence after coincidence. Hardly a scene goes by without someone turning up ( by coincidence ) at a key moment. Sister, wife, baddie, daughter, comic sidekick or lover. If you take your brain out for an hour you can enjoy the flash, bang, wallop of it all.

Good plots and subplots. Am enjoying this series tremendously.

I'm not really into reviews. However, seeing that this series has only one and at the same time very negative review I decided to write one. I saw first two seasons and enjoyed them very much. Actors are great. Action scenes are interesting. There's a lot of humor and funny scenes. Vincent Elbaz is perfect as the main hero Vincent Liberati. His sister (Anne Girouard) is so funny that I start to laugh as soon as she enters the scene. Bernard Destouches as inspector Bago is also extremely funny!. This series deserves much more attention, by audience as well as critics. I recommend it to anyone who likes good action combined with light humor.

This series is engaging even with all the bs.. The family issues of the main carachter is just too much, there is just to much issues.. And with his condtion he is just to much of a misfit to fit in as a crossing guard and here he is a special agent for hydra.. This Hydra organization is outside the law, but the work on stuff that always interacts with the same police detective, the main carachters sister.. There would be no need for this organization and no need for it to operate outside the law.... Still its fun and its good action.. Luc Besson always deliveres
