Description An American safe cracker is summoned to Paris by a childhood buddy to help pull off a "can't fail" Bastille day bank robbery, but their dream of easy money quickly becomes a nightmare as his drug crazed friend looses control of the heist-and his mind-leading to a violent blood bath in the tradition of Reservoir Dogs. From the Creators of Pulp Fiction and True Romance.

Art House Exploitation November 12, 2008 Okay. Yes, I did take a chance on this "sleeper" because of the names attached. ie. Tarnatino and Roger Avery (the co-everything of 'Pulp Fiction'). I was not disappointed. The acting, the direction, the story: all perfect. I'd recommend this film to anyone.

"....oh yeah, Eric Stoltz! Mostly unsung, but great heist flick...throw in some jejo-sniffin, H-bangin' psycho French bank robbers and I swear you'd almost forget how messed up you be!" PILATE: A Brutal Bible Tale
Cool movie January 3, 2008 I love this film with all it's humor & drama. One of the best films Stoltz have made.
A classic in its own right March 17, 2007 Eric Stolz is invited to be the safe-cracking specialist for a bank heist in Paris, doomed from the start. Jean-Hugues Anglade is the ringleader of a chaotic gang of bankrobbers-for-one-day. Julie Delpy, appearing divine as always, is the hooker that Eric orders right after landing.
This movie has "cult classic" written all over it, and after more than a decade it has lost none of its acuteness in portraying a generation that doesn't even care about being desperately lost. Abundant drugs permeate the story, but drugs alone can't fully account for everybody's apathy.
If you want to watch a quality film for a change, settle for this dvd and immerse yourself in its atmosphere, its snippets of authentic French dialogue, and its palpable nihilism. Great soundtrack, too.
A lot like Resevoir Dogs... January 3, 2007 First off I hate Eric Stoltz. I think he is a bad actor and has a horrible movie voice. He irritates me to be honest. That being said he is at the top of his limited game in this movie.
It is a very simple tale with a very simple setting. The whole French crew and their gregarious lifestyles and generally crazy demeanor is what makes this movie pretty good. These people live life to the fullest and are fun to watch onscreen. Delpy is great as usual, but I do not understand her attraction to Stoltz who is a dolt and largely uninterested in her on a deeper level it seems.
Worth a watch. It is not stylish violence though like a Tarentino movie. It is gritty and grimy.
