Dir. Mathieu Kassovitz
In French with English subtitles
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Suspense/Crime, Drama / Youth

Feat. Vincent Cassel, Hubert Kounde, Said Taghmaoui, Abdel Ahmed Ghili

Aroview: A distinctive French urban crime drama in which the idle hands of male youth form fisticuffs on mean urban streets. A whole lot punchier, intelligent and cathartic than a dozen of its US contemporaries, this socially impacted its home turf in the same way that ONCE WERE WARRIORS did here. A knock-out.

3 stars (Good Enough) The screenplay could be based, and the characters found, in any number of different urban locations around the world. ~Tubbs
