Le Couperet (or The Ax for the English title) isn't really a comedy, or maybe I didn't get the humor, that's also possible. It's a crime/drama, one that you have to take lightly as the crimes he commits would get him in custody in an eye wink as they're done very lousy and unprepared. That said the story is more about the desperation of an unemployed family man. It's certainly watchable, but not great like some other reviewers wrote. As for the relatively unknown cast they did a good job. Le Couperet is good enough to keep you entertained but I don't need to watch it a second time in the future.
