First gripe. Some of the parts and scenes are dubbed. This is an absolute horror for me. Can't the French read subtitles? And don't they have enough decent actors that they can speak French even if they are playing Spanish characters? That would be far better than having Spanish actors being dubbed. Normally I switch a dubbed film off but as most of the action involved French actors speaking their native language, I persisted.
Next gripe. Who would move three hundred kilos of cocaïne in a convoy of black gangster cars with motorcycle outriders? They couldn't have drawn more attention to themselves that way. Even though the cops were tracking them (not a spoiler - this is revealed at the start) if they weren't, then the stupidest gendarme would have realised that something big was moving.
Third gripe. Why would the drug lords allow total idiots to ride along? Said brought his clearly drug addicted girlfriend and was was a loser himself. Putting him in charge would lead (and did lead) to disaster. The girl caused the first hiccup in the delivery all by herself.
That apart, one could sit back brainlessly and just watch the kill factor and derring-do.
Some of the acting was competent - Simon Abkarian is always a winner - but most of the rest was average. But what would we expect from a film like this? It's not Gone With the Wind after all. I watched it all and have already forgotten most of what happened, where and why.
