Carjackers

I almost feel guilty because it's like kicking a dog when it's already down. There were just so many mistakes in the film that it was hard to watch. I mean, I guess if you just need to watch a couple hours of nothing but stupid violence, then go for it. If you want any kind of intelligent plot or follow through, forget about it. And I hate to give stuff away in movies, but anybody who watches it is gonna see that there were so many things done wrong.

I guess mostly what I can say is it managed to scare my poor little dog! With all of its noisy violence and outburst. But OMG it was just so completely stupid. It was like teenagers in the living room with a video camera. OK now you shoot him, now you shoot him now. Do this OK fall down that'll be cool. Hey can you jump off that chair. It was that immature a production. Was it made by a 12-year-old? Yuck! Can I get that time back? And how did this production get access to that beautiful hotel? Off season, someone ... How did I manage to write this with no spoilers? Amazing!

This movie is a train wreck. Two dimensional characters making incredibly stupid decisions with no clear motivations, silly action scenes littered with plot armor shrapnel, and Gastambide's pathetic acting as the dim highlight of this waste of server space of a movie.

The scenario could have been written by a teenager, and instead of plot twists you get blindsided by how insultingly stupid it gets.

The editing is what you would expect from a mediocre commercial.

The framing is so basic that its motto is "Live Laugh Love", the pacing is rushed and awkward, the soundtrack is simultaneously disturbing and unmemorable, and the social criticism is so heavy handed it makes one want to side with the bad guys. But they're too poorly written for that.

Avoid at all costs.

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!

If you need something to happen on your tv-set while you're hangover and don't want a plot more advanced than any low budget comics - this is it!

Action: yes. Good action: no.

I would sincerely recommend this movie for.. hmm You, the drunk guy not wanting to think or be interested while you're looking at some cheap action. Or maybe you: the guy that thinks that the world is missing out on cheap 80's action shows where the "hero" wins over all odds.

Or rather : I would not recommend this movie to anyone....

Well, maybe I am too harsh. There _are_ several shoot-outs and the hero's gang doesn't always win. Even som 'touching moments' of you are used to watching the Disney channel. Maybe you would like this movie as well?

This is the worst French movie I've ever seen. I expected something like *Taxi*, but it turned out to be a complete waste of time. The film lacks everything that makes a good action movie: cinematography, editing, special effects, and acting - all are terrible.

The heists are laughably simple, yet not a single police officer intervenes. Are the French police really this incompetent? And the man chasing the thieves? He's utterly useless! The car chase scenes are ridiculously bad-no dynamic gear shifts, no proper acceleration shots, just a mess of poorly filmed sequences. And don't even get me started on the romance. A love-at-first-sight moment so exaggerated that it made me burst out laughing.

There is absolutely nothing worth watching in this movie. I had to fast-forward through most of it just to write this review. Avoid it at all costs!
