Esquadrão de Elite

There was no novelty in the gunfight between the police and the bandits. As a result, the scene was still petty, and then there was an extramarital affair. The pot chowder is not delicious.

This is a fun cop movie and the French are very good at doing this kind of film.

Although I feel that Jean Reno is too old to do this role. He could be the commissioner, but I don't believe him as someone who could be in the middle of the action. I also don't believe in the romance. This thing of old guys with young women has to stop.

A group of cops are after a very clever criminal, who hasnt been caught for years. Will they finally catch him?

The good: the actors. We get to see a cast of French actors that are simply rock solid, with Jean Reno in another macho cop role and he does perform it to the T. All the other actors are good as well and they have great chemistry.

More good: there are some nice heist and chase sequences, which are not riveting, but enjoyable enough for such a standard crime flick.

Any bad? Well, there are some attempts at romance in between, which serve no point to the action plot, But perhaps some folks like a bit of romance and husband and wife stuff. I dont care much about that, because I watch it for the ACTION, of which there is plenty of (fortunately).

All in all another well made French crime flikc, definitely not the best, nor the most thrilling,, but it'll do nicely as an enjoyable pastime...

I can't believe it. How can anyone may find this crime action flick worth? How? What a deception for me. After I watched the trailer, I expected the worst, I expected a pure comedy like LETHAL WEAPON, but it is not. You have here some comedy lines but that's all. The main problem is else where. Everything here is predictable, dull, a total mess. Benjamin Rocher gave us several years ago a short film called RIVOUALEN which was a true masterpiece, and after he made LA HORDE, a very exciting horror film too. And I don't understand why he made this juicy straight to garbage can crap. When I go to see a crime flick speaking of Sweeney and bank robbers, I expect a brutal, bloody, crepuscular, dark, bleak feature, as JP Melville did 40 years ago, or Olivier Marchal gives us since 15 years now. I don't expect such a crap. What's happened to Benjamin Rocher? The scene where Jean Reno is hit by a car, thrown in the air and then gets away with only a scratch on his forehead, I realize how deep in s... this movie dove. Run away from it !!!

A remake of "Squad Without Limits" almost frame by frame, here we have the most efficient action scenes, even more dramatic and with few comic strips, the previous one had none, they tried to clean the police bar a little, softening the scenes of corruption, gave a good revamping in the version of 2012, slightly superior, except for the absence of the smoker kid, who turned into a pregnant smoker, a regular movie like the predecessor...
