I watched this to practise French not expecting anything other than netflix dross, but was surprised at how funny and well executed the whole thing was. All the characters were fun, especially Youseff the wig-wearing rogue. I loved the arabic/gangster vibe as well which added colour to the vernacular. The fights are great and not over-long, and some death scenes and near-death scenes at the finalé were hilarious.
Recommended, I can't think of anything quite like it apart from something like lock stock and two smoking barrels, but this was a bit less concerned trying to look cool. Its a pity to be hammered in the imdb score, its a quality bit of cinema.

I haven't seen such a original movie in a long long time. It had a strange humour for not native French speakers, a love story, some action and gory sequences. The fighting scenes where choreographed in the mood of the movie, when you'll see it you will understand what I'm trying to point out here. The direction was enjoyable and the plot was predictable but generally speaking it served the context of the movie. The two main characters where fantastic in their own way in the context of the film. Nassim Lyes a french upcoming action movie star and he was funny and had all the skills for some spot on action sequences. He was totally unpredictable i would say as a playboy, a pathetic liar and a conman. On the other hand Zoe Marcal role and acting was out of the ordinary for sure. She was funny, rude at times in a beautiful way, charming and had some fighting moves for sure. I hope to see them both in many films in the future. So from me it is a highly recommended film that breaks the ordinary plot which we are familiar with. A must see for sure.
Not long ago I was complaining about the lack of originality in French cinema, well maybe I was wrong after all. I see that the reviews are not that great on this movie and yet I had a very good time: hilarious dialogues, multiple and intense fighting scenes, crazy stunts, well-crafted storyline, surprising actors and with some scenes that are borderline violent gore.
Some will dislike the suburbs constant trashy talk, which could be irritating but I found freshness there, in the face of cinema that is sometimes academic, conventional or too commercial which tires me.
I wouild advise even french audience to use the subtitles, specially if you're older than 40 because not everyone will not understand all of the dialogues.

So I thought this was going to be a bit of a rom com with a scammer and he gets scammed, and the fall in love. I wasn't expecting the excessive but highly entertaining fight scenes. There was so much action in this movie that it could compare itself to the Kill Bill level of action. It gets pretty violent. It's fast-paced. It doesn't have your usual song over montage when the director is too lazy to put together a script showing the two falling in love. Yes you heard me, no montage! It was refreshing. The more I think about it, the more I want to see it again. The acting was brilliant and the character building was spot on. It's definitely worth a watch - for the action!
A nice entertaining movie after a long time.
Its a litle bit confusing at first, but as the movie progresses you start enjoying it. Dont judge the movie without watching till the end.
The whole movie is about a con man who is trying to survive one con after another. Very good acting from the main character, didn't expect it. The roles of villains were not that convincing but they too played their part well. The ending is the cherry on the cake.
This movie has the combination of everything. It has comedy, drama, action, romance, tragedy.
Good movie to watch with your significant other or your friends.
