Title: La Mentale Lamentable
Review: This is run-of-the-mill gangster schlock, pretty much on the level of TV crime dramas. All the stock locations are here: birthday party, sex club, meat locker, etc. As are the stock characters: Mr. Tryingtogostraight, Ms. Seductivetemptress, Mr. Homicidalsociopath. The only one missing is Mr. Crookedcop! The acting is laughable. Samuel Le Bihan's dark hair and makeup certainly do not an Arab make. It would seem he took lessons at the BBC Institute of Smirk and Grimace Acting. The rest of the cast is wooden and forgettable. And the plot is as full of holes as a Gruyere cheese. It's truly a shame that the French believe they have to imitate the predictable dumbed-down badguy junk that Hollywood churns out year after year. The only difference is that the French mob is dressed by stylish couturiers!!
