Will S @WillShetterly Nov 24, 2024 The first half is fun, for all that it’s slight. The second half feels like the writer was embarrassed by the first half being a fairly simple swashbuckler, so the story goes in another direction, which is a shame. It ends up feeling like an awkward fusion of old Hollywood and French New Wave. See more Sep 21, 2014 Une fois enrichi, le bandit découvre l'ennui. "Amuse-toi, cela empêche de mourir", prévient Vénus See more Feb 6, 2011 Rousing and playful adventure film is reminiscent of Richard Lester's The Three Musketeers at times. Belmondo, surprisingly enough, makes for a pretty good swashbuckling hero, and Cardinale not only looks gorgeous but gives an impassioned performance as his gypsy love. See more May 11, 2009 This is for me a very entertaining movie: good characters, Belmondo always enjoyable, Claudia Cardinale so charming... A very goof mix of humour and action. One of Belmondo's finest. Try also L'Homme de Rio, a movie somewhere between the adventure of Tintin and a James Bond of the 60s See more Jan 8, 2009 There are some clever moments but overall it was pretty mediocre. It would have been better if it was less an ensemble movie and had a lot more swashbuckling. The only thing that kept me going was an occasional flash of cleavage from Claudia Cardinale. See more Jul 18, 2007 Despite quite liking the Robin Hoodesque capers, I found this to be somewhat disappointing on the whole. The cinematography and costumes were well done, but I did not care about the characters. Thus, the ending didn't have the resonance it seeked. One thing I had an issue with was how Cartouche could have eyes for another woman when he had Claudia Cardinale! It makes no sense. ;) See more Read all reviews
