Pickpocket - Movies
“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but I thought it would be neat to see an action flick taking place in France during the French national day. Well, to be honest, I really struggled to get into this movie. Indeed, the beginning was just so lame with above all such poor dialogues.
