Plot

Even among bombers and murderers, there is a social ladder, a hierarchy to climb. Jeremie is a mere bomber who blows up people and places for mobsters in Paris.

Sinekatalog’s take

A dry crime comedy about two hitmen who differ in rank and temperament, with a mentor-pupil friction at its core. The humor is understated and the tone sardonic. Well suited to viewers who enjoy offbeat, talky French gangster tales.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
