Burn Out

If this will be american, probably would have raised more voices, a higher interest and for sure more votes even on this website! This could say a lot about how much marketing is doing for a film vs the real product. Thoroughly enjoyable to watch, with thrilling moments but displayed somehow into a realistic way which is not so often seen nowadays. I definitely recommended it for who's looking after a high-pace action movie, with well structured dialogue and generally with no cliches.

Good stuff, french polar which we have not seen for awhile

Now sometimes there is one aspect that may sway you to actually enjoy something more than others. In this case it may be the bike riding and the "stunts" in general. I read from another reviewer that this is losely based/inspired on "Le Prince Noir" (Black Prince). I have not seen that short (which is b/w according to the other reviewer) and has really good cinematography, style wise similar to the way this movie was shot.

Having said all that, the plot here is really nothing you haven't seen before or anything you will remember for long after you've seen the movie. So if you like the way the bike scenes are filmed, good for you, otherwise you may be underwhelmed by the movie overall.

For a B-movie this isnt half shabby. I enjoyed the premise alot. Diddn't really like the direction the story took though. Felt like you were thrown into a movie that was fast-forwarded. The way Characters are explained was poorly. The movie tends to also drag at snails pace all way towards the end were it kicks up a notch. But even then it flatlines again quickly. Not bad, most definitely not great. Just don't expect to be blown away by any means by this picture and you'll have decent time.

Although the film doesn't really offer anything new to the drug crime genre, you're bound to enjoy this if your a bike enthusiast. The biking element was probably the highlight of the film. Just a pity the music wasn't thumping to propel the film forward. The score did not complement the fast-paced biking scenes as it should have.

François Civil makes a likable hero, Tony. Tony's only crime was to protect the ones he loves. This is a very uncomplicated plot, and easy to follow. Every single character in this film has a distinct purpose; there are no unnecessary characters, which I enjoyed.

The film has the potential to become tedious with more than one viewing, I think, but for a first time viewing it was rather exciting.
