| Plot |
| An American ex-con gets caught up in a Parisian bank heist that goes wrong in this ultra-violent thriller. Zed ( Eric Stoltz ), a safe-cracking expert fresh out of prison, travels to France to participate in a robbery planned by his friend Eric ( Jean-Hughes Anglade ). But first, Zed decides to indulge in some relaxation with a gorgeous, kind-hearted prostitute by the name of Zoe ( Julie Delpy ). This idyll, however, is interrupted by Eric, who leads Zed and the other criminals on a long night of drinking, drugging, and debauchery. The next day, the thieves find themselves hung over and exhausted, and the plan soon goes disastrously wrong, turning into a hostage situation. Even worse for Zed, he discovers that the lovely Zoe also works as a teller at the bank, forcing him into a tricky moral dilemma. Writer and director Roger Avary , best known as the co-screenwriter of Pulp Fiction , creates a similar combination of black comedy, extreme violence, and hip attitude. Critics of Quentin Tarantino 's films raised similar objections to Avary 's reliance on bloody violence and a detached sensibility, while the film's fans acclaimed its fast-paced action. — Judd Blaise |
