It took me a while to get into it as i didn't really like the first 20-30 minutes or so. But i'm so glad i just kept watching this! Getting closer to the end, you could just feel something terrible was going to happen. I just sat there, in full suspense waiting for the ending. And when it did finally happen, i totally wasn't ready for it. It was still very shocking.
As xwisex noted, has a lot in common with Do the Right Thing, but has its own unique style, as well as some ambitious (if showy) camera work. A worthwhile watch, and a view into a part of Paris rarely seen in most French films that attain international acclaim.
Lots of hidden messages of the trapped society and trying to break through the everyday rules and morals. The dark underworld that cannot be seen past, in this great film.

It's alright. Nothing exceptional.Dieguito
Amazing! Pretty cool that the 3 main characters have the same name of the actors. Vincent, Hubert and Said!Groovy09
Superb filmmaking from beginning to end. A great example on how to do great pacing and storytelling for 90 minutes.One of the best films to come out of France.

The ending left me unable to move for a few minutes - almost felt like I couldn't breathe. Fantastic film and sadly one many can relate to.Joker of Gotham
Loved the dialogue and hated the ending.4/5
