I saw this when I was a little kid, and later when I was an adult. I found it equally amusing both times. This is great for both the young and the old. Some of the humor is subtle, and some is much more blunt. The basic premise of the cartoon is that it shows several different bank heists done in different countries. If I remember correctly, it's France, Russia, and America, although there could have been more countries that I can't remember of. The French are very subtle, while the Americans come in guns blasting. Some, if not all the characters, are famous actors from the country. If you ever are able to get your hands on this Russian classic, I recommend watching it.

This movie is amazing. I have never heard of it before I accidentally ran into it at the video store and I am very glad I picked it up. Although the story is fairly simple, the way it is portrayed is amazing. The dialogue of the characters, their actions, the scenery. Everything sets the mood of a very emotional film. By the end you start to feel like you are one of the characters and picturing what you would do in this situation.

The plot is basically a few start-up polish businessmen become mixed up with the mob and end up owing a debt to them. After the friends refuse to pay it, the mob starts to threaten them and their families.

It's been a little while since I've seen this movie, but I can not bring myself to watch this "movie" ever again. When I went to see this movie, I was expecting a nice Ronin-esque like action flick. Especially considering I'm a huge fan of Jason Statham, and all the previous movies he has done. Instead I've got a poorly thrown together clichés and scenes with absolutely no point. The lead female character barely speaks English (they TRY to explain this fact in the movie), and needs to spend much more time in acting school. That probably goes for at least half of the actors in the film. The soundtrack is horrific. The music in and of itself is great, however it seems as in the sounds somehow were mixed up and the wrong music was played at the wrong scene. There are times where techno is playing during a slow scene, and a nice slow song plays during an action sequence. The dialogue is forced, the story is cliché, and nothing whatsoever stands out from this movie to write about. The only decent scene was the car chase at the beginning of the movie and the fight scene between Jason and the many villains in the warehouse. It did manage to show off Jason's potential as an action hero, as well as had some creative fighting moves. However, this movie has nothing to offer. The same action can be seen in different, and much better films. Avoid this as you would the Black Plague.
