RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

SnoopyStyle Daniel Foray (Gérard Depardieu) and his two friends Julien Labesse (Stéphane Freiss) and Raymond Gayet (Albert Dray) form a bumbling gang of thieves. They are forced by their boss to go to Chicago to do a job. Sami (Saïd Taghmaoui) is also forced to go along as a guide. Zero (Renaud) is the muscle who speaks in the third person. Marcel Burot (Johnny Hallyday) is the boss' man. Sophie Nicols (Joanne Kelly) is their local host while on the job. However the heist goes wrong when they go to the wrong address and rob the vicious crime boss Frankie Zammeti (Harvey Keitel). The FBI is watching the house and the gang try to escape back to France.The production is a little bit weak. Let's just say that writer/director Brad Mirman hasn't had a standout career so far. I do like some of the comedy. Zero keeps making me laugh. Although I don't recognize most of the actors. I get a sense that they're good experienced actors. Albert Dray is hilarious. The french actors give a fun sense of humor. I really like the gang. Harvey Keitel sticks out like a sore thumb at the start of this movie. I know why they want him in so much of the movie. However he doesn't fit this kind of movie with the Pink Panther group of thieves. The movie is split in two. I really love the French gang but I'm not loving everything else.

rooprect I was just expecting a forgettable action/comedy farce to help me waste an evening. Crikey, was I surprised.True, it begins 100% goofy, and by outward appearances it would seem like a brainless romp. Most of the gags are delightfully predictable. But as things unfold, the story, acting and outcome become increasingly intense, giving you much more than what you bargained for. Plot & character development is excellent, and you find yourself locking in with even the most trivial side characters. The plot itself doesn't fully materialize until the 2nd half, but that's the charm of the movie - that somehow all these seemingly random vignettes will converge on a single climax which it does brilliantly, explaining everything & closing the story in an unexpectedly intelligent way.Some of the camera shots were really artistic, particularly the hotel chase scene through the different rooms (you just have to see it). Some of the gags were riotously funny--but you have to remember that this is a dark comedy, so a lot of these gags revolve around a surreal atmosphere of death & violence. Don't worry, though, the director purposely avoided gratuitous shots of blood & guts, opting instead for a more fairytale type of violence which fits perfectly.THE MUSIC IS AWESOME. Lots of old school swing tunes which are delightfully ironic in a modern-day gangster film like this. Keep your eyes (& ears) out for the suspenseful Sergio-Leone-like showdown at the end where the suspense hinges not on guns or action but instead on what song is about to play on the jukebox! Again, it's hard to describe; you just gotta see it.With its fast-paced yet smooth style, this film reminded me of Francis Veber's outstanding comedies ("Le dîner de cons", "The Valet" or "Les fugitifs" which also starred Gerard Depardieu), and in terms of comedic style it is much like the great gangster comedy "Suicide Kings" with Christopher Walken. Indeed Harvey Keitel's role in this film is much like Walken's in Suicide Kings; in both cases it's pulled off with a dark, menacing charm which will give you both chills and chuckles aplenty.It's the oldest cliché in cinema, but this movie is the very definition of "fun". Stick around for the outtakes during the closing credits, and it's pretty obvious that the cast & crew had as much of a blast making this movie as you'll have watching it.

siderite I actually laughed out loud at this smart funny film about a gang of French men doing a "job" in the US, then getting caught in a web of unexpected developments. I have no idea why I didn't hear of this movie earlier, it's just as funny as Lock Stock and Two Loaded Barrels, only it's more wit than brawn, as the spree of French actors are above a certain age. Even the last scene is reminiscent of the above mentioned film.The story was good, the dialogues funny, the music was nice, the acting was very good, as one might expect from a bunch of actors such as these.Bottom line: a must see movie, even if it is, after all, an action comedy about mobsters of different aromas.

Claudio Carvalho After a failure in a robbery, a gang of five fumbled French and one Algerian who does not speak French flies to Chicago to heist some jewels. The gang, composed by Daniel Foray (Gérard Depardieu), Marcel Burot (Johnny Halliday), Zero (Renaud), Julien Labesse (Stéphane Freiss), Raymond Gayet (Albert Dray) and Sami (Said Taghmaoui) steal the car of a violent chief of a street gang and meet with Sophie Nicols (Joanne Kelly), who gives the address where the jewels are stored to them. However, the house indeed belongs to a local boss of Chicago Mafia, Frankie Zammeti (Harvey Keitel), and does not have any jewels, but some tapes with the plot of Zammeti for killing Angelo Giancarlo (Abe Vigode), a powerful chief of the Mafia. A corrupt FBI agent has financial interests on the tapes and chases them. The gang is also hunted by the Mafia, the street gang and the Chicago police. This movie is a combination of comedy and police story, having very funny situations. It is an excellent entertainment. The problem is the trailer, available in other DVDs, which shows basically the whole story. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): `Procurados' (`Wanted')
