I'm familiar with these french guys as actors but I don't think I've seen any of Mathieu Kassovitz's work as a director. Seemed like it looks cool and sounded interesting though so let's see. I liked this ok. It's interesting to think this came out the same year as Kids. This is much more politically charged though with flashy camera moves and a heck of an ending but it's also about some kids with nothing to do all day getting into trouble. Although if they were supposed to be teenagers all three main actors looked way too old. The story plays a bit differently if they're supposed to be in their late 20s but I think they're supposed to be teenagers? I'm not sure now that I think about it. Anyway, this was ok. Worth watching for sure but It didn't totally grip me. I think I'm seeing it too late. If I saw this along with Kids and Clerks and Reservoir Dogs I bet I'd have loved it. How'd it get so late so quick? I don't know if I can fit two more in but leaving one on the pile is not an option. Next! |
