Hyper-kinetic 1990s Euro-action soaked in techno and blood, not unlike like the work of Luc Besson or films like Run Lola Run. The action sequences were fast-paced, off the wall, and inventive (not to mention simultaneously funny and brutally violent). The bank robbery brings Killing Zoe to mind due to its comedic brutality. In the end, a fantastically over the top action film with lots of style.

This was one hell of a ride, full of crazy chracters, Kounen's frenetic direction and one crazy gun fight scene. Always been a fan of Tcheky Karyo and I loved his performance in this film, he's just nuts. Cassell is badass and I really loved Monica Bellucci as a crazy deaf woman (crazy seems to be the way to the describe everything about this film).

This movie took badassery to another level. Grotesquely twisted humor and visual exaggerations endows a band of lowlifes with a charm that u rarely see in an action movie. It is rude, ugly and at some times stupid -definitely one of my all time favorites!

Basada en una popular historieta (popular en Francia, claro), esta trepidante cinta de acción marcó el debut en el largometraje del director Jan Kounen, y levantó cierta ampula al año de su estreno, debido al exceso de escenas violentas (de gran estilización, pero mucho más brutales que las de un film hollywoodense promedio) y a la cuestionable ideología que se desprende del film (el publico encontró dificil identificarse con una pelicula totalmente carente de personajes positivos, y con la visión de una sociedad que vive en la corrupción total, donde los criminales pueden ser incluso carismaticos). Aún asi, no deja de resultar entretenido presenciar este granguiñolesco enfrentamiento de "malos" contra "menos malos".
