Anyone could recognize this film as a tribute to HEAT and GOOD FELLAS in many scenes and characters, but that remains an excellent crime movie in the line of what the sixties or seventies gave us. Good character study and development. Gritty, poignant, especially the scene between Sami Naceri and his father, but I felt something ankward, clumsy, in the story telling though, I repeat, the intentions are honest and generous. Many clichés but we could not avoid them, not in this kind of film. Tragic, bloody, a real true French crime film, the rebirth of the early 2000s.
