I expected much more from this action packed flick in which you are not bored at all. The tale of an undercover cop, native from Algeria and the suburbs - ethnical minority in France, as the Puerto Ricans in USA - who have to infiltrate a gang of big scale and highly dangerous cannabis traders. His friend, a cop like him at the BRI - Homicide Squad, is killed at the beginning of the movie and our hero wants to avenge his death. Of course...
With predictable results and after many rebounds in the story.
Police and hoods methods are well described in the movie. How the gangsters are shipping cannabis from Morocco to Spain, aboard fast ships, and then from Spain to Paris aboard very fastcars as Audi, Porsche Cayenne or BMW. Real hunting jets. So that the cops have many more difficulties to stop them, because the astonishing speed at which they drive on the highways.
And when the widow of the killed cop - Gourmet - learns her husband's death, she is sad; but sometimes later, she seems as merry as she was at a wedding. Not the same woman at all !!!
It's a disappointing film because it's the usual good cop against the bad guys topic. The police force are TOO effective, accurate, clean, well equipped - far from the reality !!! And all in this film is TOO MUCH, TOO Politically CORRECT.
And, above all, NO SURPRISE in the ending, as I love.
Period.
But, again, you spend a good time to watch it. It's worth. Nevertheless, I'll never see it again. It's forgettable to me.
