      Audience Member Skate, skate, skate... fin. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Kalo montaz allla aney logoy tainia Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member it was like a long form music video. liked cutting/colour/composition, and soundtrack. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member le scenario ne va pa chercher loin, on est prevenu des le debut, pas de surprise de ce cote. 2 skateurs deviennent accidentellement temoins d'un reglement de compte entre bad guys, ils se font pincer et pourchasser dans tout Paris pdt un bon moment. l'essentiel du film repose sur cette chasse aux gamins, comment et par ou ca se passe. Ce cote est bien fait, on peut admirer qqs prouesses skateboardiennes :) au passage, et le rythme est bien entretenu. Divertissement agreable pour soiree sans tracas. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member 2 kids watching drug dealers (cops) killing somebody and then trying to run away from them which they do really nicely , in fact you will never see the drug dealers and the kids together on a shot, why ? who knows!. No cool tricks here just moves that any beginner could do. they could have done better! Every "side story" is totally random and does not link. From the very beginning to the end is obvious, and the movie leads you to the end painfully. Another painful aspect of the movie is the music ... they don't fit (porn movie songs???), or they are totally "ugly" (even Passi's song at the end, plain wrong). Cheap! Photography isn't too bad but the montage/editing... a real pain. The concept was really attractive, and could have been so good, if only they gave the concept to someone talented to develop it maybe Luc Besson would have done an astounding movie! Because it was such a great Idea but it was poorly done. I hope someone saves this one and do a remake! but worth seeing it! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member the director said in an interview that he had no idea about skateboarding before making "skate or die" - and the film shows. apart from that: boring story, silly stunts, bad pacing...
