This movie is bad, very bad. It never chooses between action, comedy, horror, war movie. It doesn't adhere to one genre, it tries to be everything and fails to be anything.

Characters are shallow, predictable, stereotypic.

The pace of the movIe is neither slow nor fast: there is no pace. Even the way music is used leads nowhere, one wonders if the goal of the music is to hide how a failure this movie is.

The abondance of gratuitous deaths, be it accidental or wanton murders, just conveys the idea that almost all the characters are either silly or sadistic.

The rare scenes that could have been epic don't save the whole movie, because all in all it doesn't work.

On a positive note, this movie doesn't last long.

As the french famous actor Jean Gabin once said, there are three important things in a movie: the story, the story, and the story.

The story in this movie is excellent.

Sure, there are a lot of technical problems in this movie, one cannot hide it. But the fact that the director is also the writer and the lead role makes this film a personal artistic object, with its own personality. The movie is coherent and well focused, all along with good choices in some very specific topics or details like music, basketball matches rendition and cheerleaders scenes. Paul Préjean is also such a marvellous actor.

8/10.

A movie that begins with someone telling you the backstory for five full minutes is not a good movie. It's like having someone reading a book instead of shooting a movie. Sure, some pictures are supposed to illustrate it, but still it failed here.

The psychology of characters is shallow.

The pace of the movie is not working.

The special effects are too much, nothing feels real.
