Overall the movie was good, the acting decent and the scenery/photography excellent. But it sucked that it went off the rails with a couple of glaringly obvious forced plot-twists to the storyline:
1. The carjackers were presented as pretty smart having completed a number of jobs in the past but simultaneously too unsophisticated to know that millions of gems would be tracked?
2. I absolutely hate it when during a life-or-death fight scene, the good guy/girl would get the upper hand against the bad guy who's literally trying to kill him/her, but then NEVER seems to finish him off. They ALWAYS inexplicably turns their back on the bad guy or otherwise gets distracted and allows their mortal enemy to regain the upper hand; it's so stupid!

This movie is a train wreck. Two dimensional characters making incredibly stupid decisions with no clear motivations, silly action scenes littered with plot armor shrapnel, and Gastambide's pathetic acting as the dim highlight of this waste of server space of a movie.
The scenario could have been written by a teenager, and instead of plot twists you get blindsided by how insultingly stupid it gets.
The editing is what you would expect from a mediocre commercial.
The framing is so basic that its motto is "Live Laugh Love", the pacing is rushed and awkward, the soundtrack is simultaneously disturbing and unmemorable, and the social criticism is so heavy handed it makes one want to side with the bad guys. But they're too poorly written for that.
Avoid at all costs.

This is the worst French movie I've ever seen. I expected something like *Taxi*, but it turned out to be a complete waste of time. The film lacks everything that makes a good action movie: cinematography, editing, special effects, and acting - all are terrible.
The heists are laughably simple, yet not a single police officer intervenes. Are the French police really this incompetent? And the man chasing the thieves? He's utterly useless! The car chase scenes are ridiculously bad-no dynamic gear shifts, no proper acceleration shots, just a mess of poorly filmed sequences. And don't even get me started on the romance. A love-at-first-sight moment so exaggerated that it made me burst out laughing.
There is absolutely nothing worth watching in this movie. I had to fast-forward through most of it just to write this review. Avoid it at all costs!

Horrible script, Horrible execution on a lost and twisting plot. If it wasn't for youtube I would not have been able to finish this movie.
It reminds me of a cheap knockoff. I was like watching Fast and Furious but without the suspense.
Action scenes could not separate a realistic feel from the car chase to the shootouts. Again credit for trying, but this is just garbage.
"I thought you seemed happy with him girl" She only just met the dude. Unless several months have passed and they went on more than one date. Once again horrible script.
I need a minimum of 28 more characters. Looks like i go them.

The way was mainly opened with BALLE PERDUE films series - which is not finished - and resumed with GTMAX, TIGRES ET HYENES, and some Olivier Marchal's films now "forbidden" in movie theaters. Not unbearable films, far from that, but with always some light touches that have nothing to do in those gritty plots. I mean SUPPOSED to be gritty plots. The most interesting thing here is Frank Gastambide's character as some kind of villain, very unusual for him. He is not a gangster, not a cop, just some kind of mercenary working for the palaces and tracking down punks. As in some crime movies where robbers pull a heist against a mafia casino and are hunted my mafia goons. I love this Gastambide's role, but I really disllike the romance element here, between Olivier Marchal's daughter - Zoé and the young father with his daughter. It has nothing to do here, and the kids scenes really annoyed me. Back to Frank Gastambide, he should play in a further Olivier Marchal's film. The acting here is superb, even for supporting roles. But it could not have been grittier. It is tough, with good surprises. There was another thing that annoyed me, pulling a heist, armed robbery, without gloves.... They touch several things, cars, briefcases; what about finger prints? Screenwriters should be more careful to such details.

A terrible script straight out of ChatGPT, action scenes worthy of a Z-movie, and above all, a hilarious cast, and shame on these pseudo actors/actresses.
When Franck Gastambide is the best actor (or rather the least worst) in this film, you know you're going to waste two hours of your life, the prize going to the heroine Zoé Marchal (daughter of Olivier Marchal... well, this would explain it) who plays... oh my god, it's stinging your eyes and ears. Poor thing, find yourself another hobby... Apart from serving as a means of torture or annoying your mother-in-law, I see no reason to watch this rubbish.

Fantastic euro action movieI had low expectations, especially compared to Netflix,s Lost Bullet movies with Alban Lenoir and GTMAX however, I am a massive fan of this new euro action movie trend on streaming and Carjackers is a one of the great movies from that genre.
Great character development and some nice hardcore action scenes what else to ask for! If action movie fans want to be entertained with some great action scenes, this movie is it!! From start to finish this movie will entertain streaming audiences. Why the low rating! Just enjoy a good low budget euro action movie with some twists and turns along the way. It,s a great action movie.

If you need something to happen on your tv-set while you're hangover and don't want a plot more advanced than any low budget comics - this is it!
Action: yes. Good action: no.
I would sincerely recommend this movie for.. hmm You, the drunk guy not wanting to think or be interested while you're looking at some cheap action. Or maybe you: the guy that thinks that the world is missing out on cheap 80's action shows where the "hero" wins over all odds.
Or rather : I would not recommend this movie to anyone....
Well, maybe I am too harsh. There _are_ several shoot-outs and the hero's gang doesn't always win. Even som 'touching moments' of you are used to watching the Disney channel. Maybe you would like this movie as well?

I almost feel guilty because it's like kicking a dog when it's already down. There were just so many mistakes in the film that it was hard to watch. I mean, I guess if you just need to watch a couple hours of nothing but stupid violence, then go for it. If you want any kind of intelligent plot or follow through, forget about it. And I hate to give stuff away in movies, but anybody who watches it is gonna see that there were so many things done wrong.
I guess mostly what I can say is it managed to scare my poor little dog! With all of its noisy violence and outburst. But OMG it was just so completely stupid. It was like teenagers in the living room with a video camera. OK now you shoot him, now you shoot him now. Do this OK fall down that'll be cool. Hey can you jump off that chair. It was that immature a production. Was it made by a 12-year-old? Yuck! Can I get that time back? And how did this production get access to that beautiful hotel? Off season, someone ... How did I manage to write this with no spoilers? Amazing!

This was probably one of the best action movies that have come out most recently on streaming, Franck Gastambide from the Korean movie remake Reckless will go down as one of the best villains in a movie. Yes it is really over the top but it,s an action packed movie that keeps you entertain at home.
The cars chasing scenes where awesome and all the actors did a great job in the movie. This movie was loaded with a lot of gritty action scenes.
The chemistry between all the actors was great the female lead was fabulous. What happens next in the story is entertaining. Great movie on Prime and streaming.

This is a well directed, well acted French movie. Lots of action and exotic cars, we have a very good female action hero in the lead too.
The production values are very good and it's definitely not a low budget movie.
The locations are interesting, some good car chases that even Luc Besson would be proud of. It's a contemporary movie set in quite an exotic seaside location.
Well worth watching, it is also a violent movie so keep that in mind in case that's not for you.
Unlike so many other movies there are no boring subplots to distract you. I'm surprised it didn't have a cinema release , I think it would have done well at the box office.
