action
Daniel Foray, Julien Labesse and Raymond Gayet are a group of burglars in Paris. Daniel receives the order from her boss Laurent Bastaldi to carry out a simple break-in in Chicago. To avoid wrong steps, the group is accompanied by Marcel Burot. In addition, Sami Zerhouni, who owes Marcel, and Zero, a taciturn and effective killer, are integrated into the team. When the group arrives in Chicago, however, the venture quickly turns into a fiasco.
First, the men clash with a local gang of street thugs. Then her "inconspicuous" stay with Sophie Nicols is disturbed by a noisy neighbor. To make matters worse, the group steals the car of the leader of a Latino street gang, a conspicuously painted Chevrolet Impala - Lowrider, in preparation for the break -in . After breaking into the house, handcuffing the owner, and cracking the safe, they realize they have broken into the wrong house. The house belongs to Frankie Zammeti, an underboss of the Chicago Mafia, who then swears revenge.
The group desperately tries to escape the city and return to Paris while being pursued by the Mafia, Latino gang, Chicago police and the FBI , which had Zammeti's house under surveillance.
criticism
“Fast action comedy with a fireworks display of gags and staging ideas that also bring the split-screen technology to good use. An equally humorous and intelligent film fun. "
"The usual suspects of French cinema in the French-Canadian rogue comedy not only play Guy Ritchie's crooks from" Bube, Dame, König, GrAs "easily on the wall: Author and director Brad Mirman brought together Johnny Hallyday, Renaud, Stéphane Freiss, Albert Dray and Saïd Taghmaou around Gérard Depardieu and makes all Harvey Keitel and Richard Bohringer, the mafia, the FBI and a complete Chicago rapper gang look old with a fabulous feeling for types and timing and to the great delight of the audience. "
backgrounds
It is estimated that the cost of producing the film was approximately $ 10 million. Filming took place in Toronto , Chicago and Paris .
The scene in which Marcel and Zero, played by the French rock singers Johnny Hallyday and Renaud , argue about the radio station, is an inside joke: Marcel wants to hear Johnny Hallyday, Zero, however, Renaud. Another allusion can be found in the scene in which the men want to use aliases to protect their identities. Marcel insists on being called "Elvis", actor Johnny Hallyday is known as the " Elvis from France".
