There's a sensibility, a vigorous sense of space and time evoked throughout, though without a compelling conflict or a deeper understanding of the criminal establishment, Jimenez unfolds his story in a mostly superficial way. As if he attempted to emulate Goodfellas but ended up somewhere between American Gangster and American Hustle. And God knows how much I despise the latter.

Mit einer schlagkräftigen Geschichte weist dieser französische Thriller zurück in die frühen 70er, als noch Popeye Doyle in Marseille ermittelte. Der Richter Pierre Michel (Jean Dujardin) wird vom Jugend Dezernat in das für organisierte Kriminalität versetzt. Sein Gegenspieler: Gaëtan Tany Zampa (Gilles Lellouche).. mehr auf cinegeek.de

Jean Dujardin and Gilles Lellouche (particularly the latter) are both at the top of their scenery-chewing game in this hammy mafia flick which desperately wants to be a gritty and stylish lovechild of epic American vendetta films like Heat, Casino or Goodfellas. Sadly it's a case of sideburns over substance, as the story is essentially a long sequence of hits and counter-hits, and the peripheral characters are inanimate objects for the two stars to chew out and bounce off. Scorsese this is not.

As a time-piece it was really enjoyable, you really get the feeling of Marseille. Dujardin and Lelouche really got into the skin of their characters and the tension between them were nearly tangible. A lot of side characters were very interesting too. The weak part is that as it is a very complex story, it gets boggled. How things ended in real-life is kinda anti-climatic also, but these are standard problems with this kind of stories.

Fransız bağlantısı adlı uyuşturucu mafyasının Fransa'daki ayağının filmi. Jean Dujardin, bağlantıyı yakalamak isteyen yargıcı, Gilles Lellouche da Fransız bağlantısının patronunu oynuyor. Filmin başında coco sahnesi başdöndürücü. 2 aktörün de birbirine çok benzemesi kafaları karıştırıyor. 2 düşmanın birbirine girip, içine düşen yargıç'ın çıkmaz halleri üzüyor. Sonu kötü biten filmlerden. Her günahın karşısında mutlaka 1 intikam meleği olur

Really not up to its ambitions. The "neapolitan"/italian parts are ridiculously bad.
