Les invincibles

This film came recommended as a good action film, which I don't really think it is. I found the story convoluted and not all that easy to follow. There really isn't that much action until the end of the film and it's pretty dark and hard to see what's really happening. I was sure hoping for something different, but, alas, didn't find it here.

I think this movie is one of the greatest movies that about special forces.People who think that cast is bad and actings are not real, the dont know about real special forces.

Well the title actually suggest "Winners" - but if that were always true there would be no reason to watch. No incentive, no friction and no tension. Having said all that and even with the director stating that he wasn't trying to copy or imitate Hollywood movies, you would be excused if you feel a bit differently. Although nudity would be a bit of a no go there (at least in the bigger blockbuster movies).

A lot of action, a lot of characters in the mix, but still makes sense and a story that is easy to follow. I recently watched the Directors cut of the movie. The newly inserted scenes stood out - because of the inferior quality (video). But the scenes overall really fit in. Also since they are so distinguishable, you can understand what the movie looked like in the shorter cut. Most apparent in one scene early on, where the normal cut showed the main character with a band aid and you just didn't know or got an explanation where he got it from. You will in the longer cut. Movie works either way, but it's a nice addition and adds to the whole experience.

Very well made and really well played - not just for a German movie.

Decent film - if you pay attention to the cast of characters, but you never

really become attached to the team and they really aren't even close to invincible.

Special-unit policeman Karl Simon sees someone who is supposed to be dead, and is caught up in a whirlwind of political corruption and treachery. His job and happy family are threatened by a sexy affair, a kidnapping scheme, and accusations of being an accomplice to a crime. He is used as a pawn in a game but ends up playing by his own rules, in a cat-and-mouse thrilling chase that ends in a climactic cable-car scene set high in the Bavarian Alps. Complex film merits close attention as double-cross meets double-double-cross.
