SIS: Unité d'élite

OK the movie maybe low budget and it also may be a failed TV series pilot but that does not stop me from liking it. i dunno what it is but I've got this thing for low budget productions. the movie was set around the special investigations section which is a team of cops that are like a hit squad. most crooks they gather evidence on are most likely back out on the street the next day but this sis team solves that problem by taking them out. the actors all did a good job and it wasn't fast paced but you could follow the story. the movie reads like a failed TV series pilot but just look at it as a standalone movie and you most likely will enjoy it.

This film is obviously a TV movie made as a pilot for a series. It reminded me of "The Shield" which was a gritty detective series 2002 to 2008 with Michael Chiklis and Walton Googins among others, or more recently "Shades of Blue" with Ray Liotta and Jennifer Lopez. It's a little over the top but it has good acting and nice photography. There is also an attempt at character development. It's a lot better than many of the shows now on TV.

This story should have had a follow-up. There needs to be at least one sequel. I don't know why this thing failed to become a series. Someone having an ax to grind with the production team?

Hi, What do people want now days for goodness sake all CGI, well there is non of that in S.I.S l thought it was excellent, gritty, with a bit of character development, and what made it all the more real is that the cast was unknown (well in the UK anyway). I was a bit disappointed in the ending, but then l suppose that will happen in real life as well (not telling you what l mean as it would spoil it) The actor who played the bad guy was a real B*****d, and you really wanted to see him get his comeupance, l've seen a lot of TV series that could be cancelled and I just can't understand why they did not continue with the TV series, but anyway if you get the DVD enjoy it it's well worth a good watch l give it 8/10
