Criminales de lujo

I went into Carjackers (2025) excited by the concept - hotel staff leading double lives as car thieves targeting the rich. Sounds awesome, right? Unfortunately, the execution falls flat.

The pacing at the beginning is painfully slow, and the film doesn't give you enough time to understand or connect with the characters. Then out of nowhere, everyone starts dying one after another with barely any build-up or explanation. It felt rushed and unearned.

The final chase scene was short and lacked any real tension. It almost seemed like the film just wanted to end, rather than give us a strong, satisfying conclusion.

The acting was decent, but the story and direction didn't live up to the potential. Honestly, it's hard to recommend this to anyone looking for a smart heist or action film.

Overall the movie was good, the acting decent and the scenery/photography excellent. But it sucked that it went off the rails with a couple of glaringly obvious forced plot-twists to the storyline:

1. The carjackers were presented as pretty smart having completed a number of jobs in the past but simultaneously too unsophisticated to know that millions of gems would be tracked?

2. I absolutely hate it when during a life-or-death fight scene, the good guy/girl would get the upper hand against the bad guy who's literally trying to kill him/her, but then NEVER seems to finish him off. They ALWAYS inexplicably turns their back on the bad guy or otherwise gets distracted and allows their mortal enemy to regain the upper hand; it's so stupid!

If you need something to happen on your tv-set while you're hangover and don't want a plot more advanced than any low budget comics - this is it!

Action: yes. Good action: no.

I would sincerely recommend this movie for.. hmm You, the drunk guy not wanting to think or be interested while you're looking at some cheap action. Or maybe you: the guy that thinks that the world is missing out on cheap 80's action shows where the "hero" wins over all odds.

Or rather : I would not recommend this movie to anyone....

Well, maybe I am too harsh. There _are_ several shoot-outs and the hero's gang doesn't always win. Even som 'touching moments' of you are used to watching the Disney channel. Maybe you would like this movie as well?

Fantastic euro action movieI had low expectations, especially compared to Netflix,s Lost Bullet movies with Alban Lenoir and GTMAX however, I am a massive fan of this new euro action movie trend on streaming and Carjackers is a one of the great movies from that genre.

Great character development and some nice hardcore action scenes what else to ask for! If action movie fans want to be entertained with some great action scenes, this movie is it!! From start to finish this movie will entertain streaming audiences. Why the low rating! Just enjoy a good low budget euro action movie with some twists and turns along the way. It,s a great action movie.

A terrible script straight out of ChatGPT, action scenes worthy of a Z-movie, and above all, a hilarious cast, and shame on these pseudo actors/actresses.

When Franck Gastambide is the best actor (or rather the least worst) in this film, you know you're going to waste two hours of your life, the prize going to the heroine Zoé Marchal (daughter of Olivier Marchal... well, this would explain it) who plays... oh my god, it's stinging your eyes and ears. Poor thing, find yourself another hobby... Apart from serving as a means of torture or annoying your mother-in-law, I see no reason to watch this rubbish.
