Two small time hoods spend their days roaming the streets, robbing stores, and molesting women. In some ways this is truly an amazing film. It's amazing in what it is actually able to get away with. The two main characters are immoral, ignorant, insensitive, and brutal. The women are demeaned and degraded. The overall content is vulgar and perverse. Yet somehow this thing comes off as a lyrical, offbeat delight. It's pure entertainment.
It's a definite original. Every scene is a ingenious comic set up. The scenario structure and use of locations is perfect. The pacing is fluid and eye for detail near brilliant. The two hours just move along like a breeze. It never gets boring. You actually almost wish it could be longer.
The comic threads here are really good. They actually just get funnier and funnier as they go along. The constant and futile attempts at getting a frigid women excited is a particular standout.
This is the type of black comedy that should be used as an example for all others. It's consistently unique. It manages to balance the ugly elements with the lighthearted without going overboard on either. It even throws in a surreal angle without a hitch.
Veteran French actress Moreau has one of her finest latter day roles playing a lonely lady in desperate need of male attention. The scene is very well played out and even has a shocking conclusion. Depardieus 'friendly' conversation with a shopping mall security guard is another standout.
The ultimate joke may actually be in the films title. These guys are truly going nowhere.
