Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about Felix Van Groeningen, I was really glad to finally watch one of his movies. Eventually, I was certainly not disappointed and I will definitely check his other movies when I have the opportunity. Still, even though I did like the damned thing, there were still a couple of things that did bother me. First of all, even though it was a decent tale, it was nothing really original and, above all, it was all rather predictable. On top of that, Frank, the older brother, was never presented as an actual asset for this business and, in my opinion, instead of showing him constantly getting high and having sex with some random girls, they should have balanced this character a little bit more because, this way, it was nearly impossible to root for the guy. Still, it was quite exhilarating to see those misfits running their own business and it was quite interesting to see their neverending struggle between rules and freedom, between chaos and order and between creation and destruction. Furthermore, Van Groeningen has a real talent for adding everywhere some nice details (like the left eye of the younger brother) creating a genuine authentic feeling in the process. To conclude, even though I wasn't completely sold, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look.
