Guy GO FAST is yet another EuropaCorp films. Like most of them it has a good concept, a short running time, great character actors as leads and a lot of (predictable) fun. This time it's about a cop whose buddy gets killed by smugglers who race their product across the Franco-Spanish border in fast cars, leading him to go undercover and infiltrate them. First off, ignore the DVD cover; this is not a balls-to-the-wall explosions'n'gunfights film. Rather, it's a procedural - lots of focus on how to do things - with a bit of poetry in it. There are only three short gunfights and one car chase. But it's lovingly shot, from the grey hate of the banlieus to the grey-yellow Mediterranean, from the vivid illuminations of the car dashboard to the dim lights of empty petrol stations at night. The score is pitch perfect, a sort of quietly moody raver soundtrack that complements the driving segments. The actors don't have much in the way of character to sink their acting teeth into (there is simply no character development) but they all have great faces, even the ones without lines. There is a romance, in the last five minutes, which lets the film end on an astonishingly gentle note. No classic but not a bad way to spend 85 minutes either.

Stephane Gregory Dan This french thriller has nothing of a thrill but a sleeping pill. If you want to go to bed watch this movie. It'll do you some good.A cop who's partner (boss) and friend of his, gets killed, He wants vengeance and does so infiltrating a drug dealer gang who transports Drugs from Marocco to France. Basically nothing you haven't seen beforeStory wise... I thought the story was more then typical, full of clichés. All the characters actually are the same, no emotions at all. They all do speak a few words and nothing more. Only the girl does some acting but then, for me it seemed over acted. Like she tried to hard. The direction of the movie is a plain disaster in means of originality. It's typical nice shots and usual shots, mostly blurry by the way (new way of docu style maybe), it was intentional, therefore it doesn't work as an artistic visual asset. The editing may be the only good thing, but then you ask yourself: Was there anything more to edit and who edited it? Editor or director? Basically the magic of editing is the rhythm of a movie and this one fails. No rhythm at all.The music itself might have been a good asset, but I thought the directors choice in putting the music where he believed it belonged was just wrong. Most of the movie no music at all and when there should have been, there wasn't and when u expect no music, there is. I have the original soundtrack which is a masterpiece when you ride your car, but in the movie all this art from the hand of Agoria Dj, was butchered.In my opinion if you want something new with a lots of speed and action packed road flick, I still recommend Mad Max (the original first movie). Leave this one out cause even bad teen romantic comedies are better.

GUENOT PHILIPPE I expected much more from this action packed flick in which you are not bored at all. The tale of an undercover cop, native from Algeria and the suburbs - ethnical minority in France, as the Puerto Ricans in USA - who have to infiltrate a gang of big scale and highly dangerous cannabis traders. His friend, a cop like him at the BRI - Homicide Squad, is killed at the beginning of the movie and our hero wants to avenge his death. Of course...With predictable results and after many rebounds in the story.Police and hoods methods are well described in the movie. How the gangsters are shipping cannabis from Morocco to Spain, aboard fast ships, and then from Spain to Paris aboard very fastcars as Audi, Porsche Cayenne or BMW. Real hunting jets. So that the cops have many more difficulties to stop them, because the astonishing speed at which they drive on the highways.And when the widow of the killed cop - Gourmet - learns her husband's death, she is sad; but sometimes later, she seems as merry as she was at a wedding. Not the same woman at all !!!It's a disappointing film because it's the usual good cop against the bad guys topic. The police force are TOO effective, accurate, clean, well equipped - far from the reality !!! And all in this film is TOO MUCH, TOO Politically CORRECT.And, above all, NO SURPRISE in the ending, as I love.Period.But, again, you spend a good time to watch it. It's worth. Nevertheless, I'll never see it again. It's forgettable to me.
