All-Time High

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 have not seen such a crazy movie in a really long time. The energy and the pacing is unbelievable, hectic, fight scenes like in a Jackie Chan movie, but more fun. The actors are great, characters somewhat reminiscent of Guy Ritchie's, but with a definite French flair. You might have to slow it down or rewatch some of the scenes, because it is easy to miss stuff in such a fast-paced film. It is hard not to be a fan of those two loveable hustlers and not to root for them to find whatever they're looking for - money, love, a change of fortune and a way out of the everyday fight to scrape together an existence....

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.

When I started to watch I didn't have big expectations, but the story and the jokes are very funny and make the movie unique!

Action , laugh moments and also the characters are well defined and super funny!

Without spoiling the trama there is also a love story behind where a nice message come up at the end of the movie.

I didn't have the feelings at the beginning of such funny and nice movie but I had to change my mind ! I can only suggest this movie...the plot is unique and the time flies between actions , funny moments and a bit of love !

I need to admit that the French comedy are very funny and well done!

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.
