Carjackers

The way was mainly opened with BALLE PERDUE films series - which is not finished - and resumed with GTMAX, TIGRES ET HYENES, and some Olivier Marchal's films now "forbidden" in movie theaters. Not unbearable films, far from that, but with always some light touches that have nothing to do in those gritty plots. I mean SUPPOSED to be gritty plots. The most interesting thing here is Frank Gastambide's character as some kind of villain, very unusual for him. He is not a gangster, not a cop, just some kind of mercenary working for the palaces and tracking down punks. As in some crime movies where robbers pull a heist against a mafia casino and are hunted my mafia goons. I love this Gastambide's role, but I really disllike the romance element here, between Olivier Marchal's daughter - Zoé and the young father with his daughter. It has nothing to do here, and the kids scenes really annoyed me. Back to Frank Gastambide, he should play in a further Olivier Marchal's film. The acting here is superb, even for supporting roles. But it could not have been grittier. It is tough, with good surprises. There was another thing that annoyed me, pulling a heist, armed robbery, without gloves.... They touch several things, cars, briefcases; what about finger prints? Screenwriters should be more careful to such details.

A terrible script straight out of ChatGPT, action scenes worthy of a Z-movie, and above all, a hilarious cast, and shame on these pseudo actors/actresses.

When Franck Gastambide is the best actor (or rather the least worst) in this film, you know you're going to waste two hours of your life, the prize going to the heroine Zoé Marchal (daughter of Olivier Marchal... well, this would explain it) who plays... oh my god, it's stinging your eyes and ears. Poor thing, find yourself another hobby... Apart from serving as a means of torture or annoying your mother-in-law, I see no reason to watch this rubbish.

Horrible script, Horrible execution on a lost and twisting plot. If it wasn't for youtube I would not have been able to finish this movie.

It reminds me of a cheap knockoff. I was like watching Fast and Furious but without the suspense.

Action scenes could not separate a realistic feel from the car chase to the shootouts. Again credit for trying, but this is just garbage.

"I thought you seemed happy with him girl" She only just met the dude. Unless several months have passed and they went on more than one date. Once again horrible script.

I need a minimum of 28 more characters. Looks like i go them.

Overall the movie was good, the acting decent and the scenery/photography excellent. But it sucked that it went off the rails with a couple of glaringly obvious forced plot-twists to the storyline:

1. The carjackers were presented as pretty smart having completed a number of jobs in the past but simultaneously too unsophisticated to know that millions of gems would be tracked?

2. I absolutely hate it when during a life-or-death fight scene, the good guy/girl would get the upper hand against the bad guy who's literally trying to kill him/her, but then NEVER seems to finish him off. They ALWAYS inexplicably turns their back on the bad guy or otherwise gets distracted and allows their mortal enemy to regain the upper hand; it's so stupid!

Fantastic euro action movieI had low expectations, especially compared to Netflix,s Lost Bullet movies with Alban Lenoir and GTMAX however, I am a massive fan of this new euro action movie trend on streaming and Carjackers is a one of the great movies from that genre.

Great character development and some nice hardcore action scenes what else to ask for! If action movie fans want to be entertained with some great action scenes, this movie is it!! From start to finish this movie will entertain streaming audiences. Why the low rating! Just enjoy a good low budget euro action movie with some twists and turns along the way. It,s a great action movie.
