Hunting with Tigers
Whilst not exactly original, Hunting with Tigers offers enough worthwhile content, to fit comfortably, into the French action crime thriller genre.
This film delivers plenty of action with a certain vibe that's hard to define in words but feels, inherently French. Its kind of gritty, earthy but also has a certain flair and style, that's very much evident, in this film. Most notably, the courthouse shoot out, which is central to this film's story of loyalty and honour (of a kind).
Characterisations follow a similar trajectory. Its hard hitting, no nonsense stuff with tough guys doing tough guy things. Its nicely balanced with a sense of comradery and jokery fellowship.
On the downside there are a few conspicuous plot holes and it all feels a little preposterous but again, that could be said to be part of the fun.
In summary, a solid, middle of the road, French crime action thriller. Something the French seem to excel at. Definitively worth a look.
