Will S The first half is fun, for all that it’s slight. The second half feels like the writer was embarrassed by the first half being a fairly simple swashbuckler, so the story goes in another direction, which is a shame. It ends up feeling like an awkward fusion of old Hollywood and French New Wave. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review TTM T Charming and likeable.....a novelty seeing Belmondo and Cardinale in an obvious attempt at a Hollywood swashbuckler job. (They're great!) I'd say the French stuntmen are not as convincing as Hollywood stuntmen! It's fun but slight. However.....out of the blue, the last ten minutes of the movie suddenly approaches great cinema. Great ending. When we finally have to say goodbye to Claudia Cardinale, something I can't bear to think of, the first thing I'm going to put on is the end of "Cartouche". That ending elevates an otherwise fun but kinda forgettable film. I gave it three stars for it being watchable and entertaining enough.....but I gave it an extra half-star for the last ten minutes or so.

"Amuse-toi, cela empêche de mourir", prévient Vénus Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Rousing and playful adventure film is reminiscent of Richard Lester's The Three Musketeers at times. Belmondo, surprisingly enough, makes for a pretty good swashbuckling hero, and Cardinale not only looks gorgeous but gives an impassioned performance as his gypsy love. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This is for me a very entertaining movie: good characters, Belmondo always enjoyable, Claudia Cardinale so charming... A very goof mix of humour and action. One of Belmondo's finest. Try also L'Homme de Rio, a movie somewhere between the adventure of Tintin and a James Bond of the 60s Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member There are some clever moments but overall it was pretty mediocre. It would have been better if it was less an ensemble movie and had a lot more swashbuckling. The only thing that kept me going was an occasional flash of cleavage from Claudia Cardinale.
