Kesh decides to avenge his brother-swindler, who forgot the main precept of the swindler - not to get into a fight ...


Not to like French cinema is indecent. You can not understand it, you can not catch up with it, you can not look at it, but do not like it ... It's almost like confessing a groomed bad taste and signing for a love of hamburgers - a little embarrassed and few people decide. The spectator, who has run into the cinema on a French film, differs from the amateur with a jerk on the "Pyla", neighing on the "Pie" and swarming on the "Hulk". The one who watches the French does not read comic books. He simply looks through them.

The issue of relatively honest money weaving forever troubled people creative, filmmakers also raised it to the category of fetishes. Judge for yourself: the most charming heroes are crooks, the most beloved comedies are the intelligent-thieving trend ... Every more or less well-known actor has at least once starred in the role of the dearest, not too lucky, infinitely loved by spectators scam! So, Jean Dujardin ("99 francs"), with his ironic smile and a strange eyebrow angle, Jean Reno (who here needs to be reminded of his role?), With a characteristic nose and pathologically sad eyes, Valeria Golino ("Frida"), Francois Berlean , Alice Taglioni - they are simply incomparable and so organic that I want to say in Interpol!

Perhaps, the only, but, unfortunately, a weighty minus is the abuse of riddles and bluffs. Constantly emerges an immortal quote of a famous Englishman: "Everybody lies ..." In the end, only the realization of this remains a relative stronghold in the world of unsteady, constantly changing characters. To the very end, understand who, whom and how exactly it is possible only after the secondary viewing.

"Ca $ h" is a balm for the wounds of people, exhausted by American cinema. The film is really similar to "Ocean's Friends" - and the name and a bunch of people united by a thirst for money, but striving in their own direction, and trying boldly to turn the world of values, to tell and prove that revenge is good, to steal from the rich is also not bad. .. The film is similar, but, despite the fact that it came out later, it's still better: a more complicated plot, more refined and torn actors, more ... Just remember that the first scammers wandered around Lutetia even when America missed the undiscovered.

Watch the movie, and proudly in the cinema. Go out with a stone face, mysterious and impregnable. On the requests of others to explain the meaning and order of what is happening on the screen to respond that: "Director il ne fait que rire ... N'est-ce pas? "A bit of European snobbery for increasing self-esteem - it's so invigorating.
