The Arab carrier... Where did you find it, in Algeria?
- He's a good cop and he's French!
This tape stands out a little in the flow of French crime films, here you will not see superheroes, stylish editing or cool special effects, but rather this picture and bribes, its realism, as if you yourself take part in a police operation. Olivier Van Hofstadt shot a documentary before that, maybe that’s why the picture turned out to be more serious. I found the pictures of hemp plantations in Morocco especially real.
- Push on the gas, go to Spain!
I must say the timing of the picture is used quite wisely, the plot fits almost 80 minutes does not sag for a second. The picture has enough shooting, chase and fast driving, as well as all the dialogues are well written. And although the film is shot in a more serious style than usually entertaining pictures from “EuropaCorp”, the film still feels the style of Besson’s company – Audi cars, a drive rap soundtrack in the spirit of “Taxi” and some themes similar to “Carrier”.

But this did not make it worse, just the plot is closer to our European realities. And no matter what they say, Luc Besson’s film company “EuropaCorp” shoots a sufficiently high-quality movie.
- Let's see what you can do!
Of the actors, I would certainly note Roshdie Zema, recently after the action films “Outlaw” and “Three Hours to Escape”, his star is starting to gain momentum. Olivier Gourmet, usually playing police officers, as in the film Enemy of the State No. 1. Adel Bensherif appeared in the criminal drama The Prophet. And Colombian beauty Catalina Denis as an American special agent. Although most remembered by Gil Milan, in the role of a cruel criminal Lucien
