Gang Story

Its not your typical mob movie with guns blazing. It takes us back to when gangs had a code of honor and integrity. Loyatly is what kept this gang a close knit family. You actually want the bad guys to win is how good this film is. Brings you in that much. The gang leader has a heart and his friends will give there lives to him with no questions asked rather than see it as a sign of weakness. Every actor seems to fit there part perfect. It has revenge which i love in movies. It also stresses if you mess with his family you will pay the price with your life. I really believe this deserves a higher rating than what it received by far.

" Les Lyonnais " it's nice and chill gang film he got nothing special compared to others movie in this theme but it's cool movie and it's pleasure to see this kind of movie from France cause we know making violence in French movie it's It's usually frowned upon but the France give a nice movie like this while respecting the values and history of the period !!!

First to all the script was not bad but sometimes I felt lost I ain't got it who was who and who did that and I've got the feeling to get boring like unhooked from the story, too bad but it is my opinion about it !!! But mix the différents period of the story was a such good ideas and by the way really good makes !!!

The director did a pleasant work with nice shoots and good directing about the shoots too, the work of colors and play-lights on the shoots was good too

The acting was not bad at all but not great neither some character play sometime very bad but the mains character played good for me !

Entertainment at the highest levels of engagement. All the emotions are triggered and captured over and over again as we visit with 35 years of a friendship that was tested to the limits. Did it or does it hold is one good question. When it comes to crime, one never knows what to expect as crime doesn't play by the rules but by its own rules. One has to remember that as violent as a gang wants to be, there is always someone more violent that wants to prove that point. Both are motivated but only one can prevail. Everyone knows the police are restricted, dumb and don't catch on quickly, but what if they are not? Furthermore, what about human nature which proves to be unreliable time and again when things get dicey. Good acting, tense direction, clear cut story that makes several points and then does one good thing. It lets you be the judge of the outcome. This is as it should be. Tasty drink and finger foods recommended and this draws you in so no distractions to interfere with that or you will ruin the ten rating for yourself

A french thriller with terrific actors in the main roles. It is quite predictable all along (the main twist is something you should have figured out sooner rather than later), but the actors make it more than enjoyable to watch.

The suspense is still sustained throughout the movie, which has to do with the settings, the framing and the editing of the movie. Good work has been done in those departments. There's some violence in this movie, but it's not relishing in it. The morals might also be something you have trouble with identifying. A more than solid effort that is not only for Euro thriller lovers

This is the story of Edmond Vidal, better known as Momom, a boy who spent his entire childhood in a poor gypsy camp. With a strong sense of family and loyalty, he and his childhood friend Serge began committing petty thefts and ended up involved in organized crime. In the 1970s, the two formed the Gang des Lyonnais, becoming recognized as the greatest criminals of the time. After an arrest in 1974, Momom and Serge drifted apart. Today, almost 60 years old, Edmond wants to forget his past and live his life with his family... But the past will come knocking on his door again, in the form of Serge.

The plot has a very good premise, based on real events, which I really love. However, I started out feeling motivated, and the motivation didn't come during the film, although there were several interesting scenes and a few disgusting ones of torture, a beautiful story of love between bandits, society, friendship, complicity and betrayal, great elements for a good thriller, which didn't captivate me as much as I thought it would... A good film about the life of crime and redemption of Edmond "Momom" Vidal...
