The French action movie The Crew (Braqueurs) was released in the US on November 15, 2018. A gang of armored car robbers
Most of the actors were good and very believable. The director was also very good. I don’t know if French action movies are usually this dialogue heavy, but this did tend to slow down the story. The action sequences were good, but had very little blood. The cinematography was good and helped bring a sense of gloom to the film. The soundtrack was good and didn’t overwhelm the story.
Despite the slow section of the movie, it was entertaining. An audience would be drawn into the story more if there would have been more emphasis on the action sequences instead of establishing the relationships between the characters. I give this 3 1/2 stars out of 5.

I was surprised to see a French film this good. But a group is only as strong as its weakest link, and in this case, it cost them a lot. A lot of action, very little blood and no gore. The acting was above average, but the photography needed work. Strangely the editing was pretty good. There is an English language version of this title The Crew.
