Two estranged friends (Olivier Marchal, Jacques Gamblin) must join forces to survive after the psychopath they testified against several years earlier is released from prison.

That's a lot of stuff going on at once, all of which feels rather familiar but none of which the film ever truly gets right.

Rated: 1.5/4

New York Post

It's a mildly interesting thriller - Paris through the eyes of a director who doesn't know how to make its beauty menacing.

Rated: 2/4

"Paris Countdown" is a buddy movie with a downbeat heart.

Amusing as several moments are, Marie's got nothing particularly memorable in store for us with Paris Countdown.

Despite possessing some definite strengths, the film ultimately feels as though it's hewing to a well-honed formula.

Rated: 2.5/4

Blu-ray.com

Aims to be a slick piece of action entertainment, but there's little imagination beyond the age of the lead characters, and while the feature is mercifully simplistic, it's rarely engaging, even as a violent distraction.

Rated: C

Sorte de pastiche maladroit d'un film de Nicolas Winding Refn par un amateur peu inspire.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Highly stylized film with great sound. Overall, a fun experience and quite a neat thriller and noir piece.
