About
You’ll like this tense French crime thriller if you enjoy character-driven gang stories and loyalties tested over time, with frequent past-and-present contrasts like Gangsters or Flic Story; Not for you if slow beginnings and quick jumps between periods feel frustrating.
Pros: intense crime drama; humanistic friendship; strong performances | Cons: slow opening; rapid time jumps; sometimes confusing
