Quebra de Conduta

The movie differentiating itself from cheesy spy movies to giving main idea is espionage not a thing to brag about as we have seen on classic spy movies. It is simply being humble with excellent planning patiently and sacrifice. There is a significant romance which makes movie tender. when you think that you are winning actually you are losing it badly. Movie is full of class act and acting brilliance with good actors.

Mobius is a kind of strip also Mobius or Moebius, is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. The Möbius strip has the mathematical property of being non-orientable. It can be realized as a ruled surface. It was discovered independently by the German mathematicians August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858.

This movie is a hidden gem. The plot is great, with interesting twists, the acting is definitely great, it's thrilling and suspenseful without the use of any explosions or bloody scenes, it has a sex scene that manages to be spectacular without any loud sexual vocalizations or nudity display, and it ends up tugging at your heart quite a bit in the end. Also, I never thought Jean Dujardin to be sexy. Well, he is in this movie. There are some people claiming the plot is confusing, but I think it's the fact that there's a lot going on and the subtitles might make it hard to follow. You might have to rewind certain scenes or rewatch it to get some key details. Or maybe not. I learned enough French to be able to understand most of the dialogue and the subtitles helped too, so I didn't have any problems, but non-French speakers might. Either way, trust me, it's a very entertaining flick.

"I can't steal but I can still seduce." Alice (De France) is a trader who is caught up in a deadly ring of money laundering. When a powerful Russian finds her and forces her to help him she meets Moïse (Dujardin), a Russian operative. Her and Moïse strike up a fast relationship both trying to hide who they really are from each other, but you can only hide the truth for so long. This is a hard movie to review, mainly because the plot was a little hard to follow, for me at least. It was really just a movie about a type of espionage triangle and you begin to question everyone's motives. It was pretty slow moving and went back and forth between french and English so if you aren't a big foreign movie fan that is your warning. This is a movie for a select group of people. For me it was a little too slow and predictable for me to fully get into. Overall, nothing that I would rush and see or see again. I give this a C+.

We went to see Mobius on it's first evening showing in our local movie theater. We were pleasantly surprised by an interesting spy movie with contemporary plot.

First the good parts: The movie is filmed very very well - with excellent editing and beautiful outside shots in Monaco and Moskva. The acting is excellent and the plot has more than a few twists and enough mystery to keep you interested.

The only thing I was sure, was that being Russian - no one would be happy in the end and without spoiling the plot - you will not be disappointed from that aspect.

The not so good parts The movie is a bit slow moving and the dialog could have been crisper. The co-star's English was noticeably French-accented and not American which took away from the credibility of the character. The director could have done a better job on the Americans; the American CIA characters were stereotypical and portrayed in a way that I imagine many Europeans visualize Americans.

This is an intricate bittersweet drama and love story much more than it is an action/adventure or thriller. The pacing is methodical and consistent while the production value is quite high, with excellent cinematography and really well laid out interior and exterior scenes. It paints a captivating portrait of high risk banking and espionage just as it does Monaco and Moscow.

The acting is good with a well rounded cast. There was one odd and weird sequence of close up facial shots, but other than that I found the film quite compelling and even moving, with few flaws.

If you are looking for explosions, car chases and gun fights look elsewhere. Watch this film if you want to be immersed in a human story draped in exotic locales and professions.
