Things aren't always what they seem, and in this French film, you will wonder if you had it figured out all along, or not? You just get done robbing a bank and need a quick getaway. What do you do? I say grab a hot chick to use as a shield, then a father taking his young daughter to the hospital so you can have the car. There, three hostages, three back robbers, and a bag full of money. Perfect, right? Possibly, but like in all French films, things turn weird, and there is always a twist. This movie brought some tense moments and you really start to like the character development but fell just a tad short. It is a remake of a 70's Italian, exploitation film but changed in a number of ways without improvement. If you haven't seen the original than you will most likely really enjoy this as long as you can read because it has subtitles. Good acting for the most part and a story that takes you through a journey keeping your eyes on the screen wondering what will happen next. The best part is is, it is streaming on Netflix right now!!! Happy Friday TV Watching!
FYI: The original Italian film was released 23 years after if was completed due to legal issues.
