    Good...

    The first half is very boring, with the long and slow introduction at the beginning, the fraud, however the second half develops with a little more action, comes out of inertia with scenes of violence, aggression and extortion... A good plot Franco-Belgian, interesting and realistic outcome... And with true nuances about the use of Carbon by the two countries and their losses...

    Loved it!

    What a movie! Really enjoyed it. good depiction of the Parisian nightlife and all the trouble that comes with it

    Awesome drama/crime/thriller

    Set in the Parisian bourgeoisie business community movie shows people crazy to make money and schemes they use, and how in the end greed brings them down.

    Filmed in Olivier Marchal's very own style, very dark, very cold, very real.

    Very exciting movie from beginning to end.

    Totally recommended

    A good Olivier Marchal's movie

    Carbone is far the best Marchal's movie since "36 Quai des Orfèvres". The plot is simple but quite efficient. Bargain, betrayal, sex and blood. And a good Gerard Depardieu, as is the rest of the casting. I wish I had more twists and a deeper intrigue. 7/10 is a just rating i think

    A true story

    The story depicted in the movie is true and son of the most idiot Kyoto protocol in regards of climate. Paris agreement - totally useless and not even applied - hasn't fixed the issue at all.

    The movie has some exaggeration but is well done. Suggested.
