Two looser ex-cons want to get back in the game. The smarter of the two comes up with an "ingenious" idea of how to replace their lack of weapons. Although the plot developments may not come as a complete surprise, the timing and the narrator's attitude make it extremely funny. The first half seems a social commentary on the job market in urban France, but can also be interpreted in a wider sense to represent the obstacles people face when trying to integrate into their society. The rest is reminiscent of the hold up scene from RAISING ARIZONA in the sense that nothing goes as planned; however, the funniest aspects of this hold up center on the reactions of the intended victims: immigrant owners of an all night shop who do not get along. Better quality than most SNL skits and worth the while.
