À l'épreuve des balles

No less than 30 reviews were posted on June 14, 2022. All them rated this movie a 10. Yet when I submit this, I'll be sent an email stating that some admins are going to parse mine before it's posted. I gotta chuckle outta that.

Alright, so we all know there are a handful of movies out of the tens of thousands that have been produced in the history of film that actually rate a 10. This ain't one of them.

This is one of the better Vinnie Jones films out of everything that's been released over the past decade. He does "Vinnie Jones" in this pretty well. In a lot of the others he seems to force the character. What else is he going to do? He's been typecast into the role.

Aside from nothing being original, from the script, the soundtrack, and the cinematography, it at least was a smooth ride from beginning to end. There were no noticeably huge plot holes, and the continuity of the film seemed bang on.

Not too deep, paced to keep me interested, I guarantee you've seen worse.

Maximum a 3, if you don't care about stupid scenarios or even stupider characters. I kept watching expecting a few decent scenes, but no. It kept getting worse. I had to stop half way to calm my nerves. What a waste. Skip.

The bad; another B-movie that puts an A-list actor on the poster, who then only gets a very tiny part of a mere couple of minutes. Such a rip off! The rest of this movie is entirely casted with C-listed actors with NO charisma whatsoever.

Another B-movie, cheaply made, with no suspense or thrill whatsoever. Not even funny.

I only wanted to watch it because of Vinnie Jones, but since he only had got a few minutes of screen time this movie becomes totally pointless to watch...

I started watching this film without too many expectations, but somehow I watched the film with interest to the end wothout rewind. The story is not exactly the most unique, it reminds me of many works I have seen, but I say that it also retains a certain amount of its own originality. The plot moves too fast so many things suffer because of it, too fast plotting is never good. This is a below average action movie that is watchable but nothing more, it doesn't leave any special impression.

What is the fascination with hoillywood and Vinnie Jones. He was an average soccar player, known more for his temper than his skills and it seems that in america, he lacks either. He really REALLY can't act worth a toss, he's not a hard man, just a dodgy looking wannabe geezer. He only had his debut in the Guy Richie film Lock Stock and two Smoking barrels because he was a drinking buddy with Guy and because he was so desperate for work he'd do it for virtually nothing. Maybe it's the fake east end 'cockney' accent that hides his lack of ability. Well I suppose given the tripe he appears in it's all his audience can stand.

Basically what I'm saying is if you see Vinnie Jones on the cast list, advoid like the plague. Take some laxatives and a book to the toilet - you'll have a much more enjoyable time.
