      Cinephemeride [ an underrated French-style action film that mixes very good action scenes and a lot of fun. Very pleasant and supported by a solid casting starting with Jean Reno and Alban Lenoir who form an astonishing duo Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Boycie Actually found this an enjoyable movie. Quite tense for the most of it, loads of action, good cast/acting.. Far better than the English adaption... Good fun if you don't take it too seriously! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/23 Full Review Liam D It's not high cinema but it's a entertaining Thriller that is better than it's British counterpart Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/30/21 Full Review mauro l Popcorn gone bad. (Mauro Lanari) Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Serge Buren (Jean Reno) and Cartier (Alban Lenoir) operate a tough Parisian police unit which uses unorthodox methods but gets results. However, their methods have fallen out of favor with the new boss, Becker (Thierry Neuvic), who's trying to deploy a new level of discipline within the police force. The fact that his wife -- fellow cop Margaux (Caterina Murino) -- is having an affair with Buren only complicates matters, as does a vicious robbery that leaves one victim dead and the whole precinct on the hunt for the killers... "Antigang" is a french remake of the 2012 film "The Sweeney", which was inspired by the popular television series The Sweeney (1975-1978). Not sure though what this film or the british version is supposed to have in common with the classic tv-show The Sweeney. "Antigang" tries to be an action filled and violent cop thriller with a nod and a wink to both "Heat" and "Point Break". The depiction of how the french police force behave in duty is both absurd and silly in many ways. They would hardly get away with most of their antics in reality. The mix between comedy and action doesn´t really work in a satisfying way and it´s quite obvious that director Benjamin Rocher got lost in his attempt to be both funny and action packed. "Antigang" is just too formulaic and straight forward with no uniqueness to it nor excitement to be honest. The characters are stereotypical and way over the top. Jean Reno isn´t what he used to be, but I did enjoy the lovely Caterina Murino´s character. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member copilaresc. dupa 20 de minute m-am oprit pentru ca nu m-a prins scenariul. mi-a placut ca esti in franta.

      Kevin Maher Times (UK) Without the London context and the cockney banter between Ray Winstone and Alan Ford, it all feels a bit pedestrian. Rated: 2/5 Apr 14, 2016 Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian Un peu cheeky, this. Rated: 2/5 Apr 14, 2016 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed a very entertaining action film that should not bore anyone with strong performances and a simple but good story. Rated: 4/5 Apr 19, 2020 Full Review Leslie Combemale Cinema Siren The action is left needing to exist largely for itself... That doesn't negate the entertainment value of some impressive action set pieces, but it does remove most of the impetus to see it in addition to the first feature. Rated: C Oct 22, 2019 Full Review John Noonan FILMINK (Australia) ...a colourful comic book filled with seemingly invincible police officers... Rated: 13/20 Sep 15, 2016 Full Review Karen Krizanovich Radio Times A solid if lacklustre police caper with some sparkling moments. Rated: 3/5 Apr 14, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
