Short Review

This was a film that I had added tot he queue on Netfux because of the involvement of Simon Le Bihan of Brotherhood Of The Wolf fame, and I was hoping for a gritty French crime film, but ultimately it was just a fairly predicable film about a career criminal trying to go straight while his idiot sibling is being drawn further into a criminal lifestyle. I suppose it's harmless enough, but I was left very cold, as you've seen this story MANY times before and nothing in particular about this set it apart form the other films.Rental? At best?
