I have never understand the impulse to do cop movie, especially when it's about running after the famous powder. When you count all the lives lost, all the family destroyed, all the investigations and budget allowed for so little result, you are worthy to ponder.
Here, you have got a clear illustration of this poor administration : there isn't one single police but a lot of offices, each one in charge of a particular crime and not trusting the other. Thus, versatile criminals are a bit hard to catch. Beyond this, the cops are obsessed by the flagrant arrest : they never want to stop the little fish, they always want to catch the big head. So, they listen, they investigate, they patient and it always ends in a bloody gunfight !
In addition, this movie is a bit a bore as every one is grumpy : no ones is happy, the cop father, the cop daughter, the cop boss, the cop co-worker, the gangsters. This loud drama is increased by the locations : derelict, old, rusty, cloudy, this Paris look like rather a under developed country ! And now, even french productions are infected by the modern plague : i mean the mobile phone because in terms of filmmaking, shooting a conversation is ground zero.
At last, if Zem is right, i can't believe Leila as a vindictive daughter and an aspirant cop. Worst, she dresses with rags and we are left wondering about her fate.
In conclusion, it's not a stinker but there's little to make happy either !
