Great gangster film, with an excellent prestation of Jean Gabin, in a role who will reboost his career, and the first role of Lino Ventura.

An interesting, not too predictable crime drama, with good mood. Grisbi starts off where heist movies tend to end - after the protagonists got away with the loot. Gabin's amicable robber and Lino Ventura in the smaller villainous role unsurprisingly stand out.

By far and away the quintessential film noir of all time not close.

One of Becker's lesser films. Still, worth watching if you're into him or the genre; and it was quite atmospheric and stylish as you'd expect. While hard to get into at first, it got better as it went along, with very memorable final scenes. In the end, however, I can only care so much about drug-running, backstabbing mafia lowlife and their slutty girlfriends.

What a presence Gabin is in this one. Utterly magnifying.

Enjoyable gangster noir. I really dug the cool, jazzy mood and how Jean Gabin portrays a sense of weariness and reluctance to continue in this lifestyle.

The definitive man's movie.

I love this film. It is what showed me the awesomeness of French Film Noir.

Well-done French crime film. Very believable set of criminals. I particularly like the fellow who looks like a math professor who's good with a submachinegun

An excellent gangster noir, and Jean Gabin really shines as the weary lead character.

I prefer the film it influenced, Bob le flambeur, but this is still an excellent French noir. Becker achieves a grace and elegance unsurpassed in the crime genre, and Jean Gabin fully embodies his weary gangster character. Charming and humanistic.

A bit sedate--and sluggish.

Cracking French gangster noir.

He had it all and then lost it all.

Oozes with badassery and style that it's almost impossible not to love.

Very believable though sluggish noir, with an excellent set of relatable criminals and Jean Gabin delivers as Max, who I think is one of the most admirable film characters ever made.

Wonderful character study of a gangster flick. It's elegant and moves along at a very relaxed pace. You can't help but like Jean Gabin's Max, who's cool-headed and always seems to know what to do.
