Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

maria-ricci-1983 A jewel in every aspect.Outstanding acting performed by a perfect cast, vying with each other to deliver extraordinary performances.Gripping scriptwriting, with complex and multi-layered cases, and lively, unforgettable characters (Justice Roban and Marianne, oh my, acting just with the little muscles around the eyes!) Great action and suspense in the service of the plot line.The dark side of Paris, avoiding the tempting, romanticized clichés of the Montmartre for the Foreigner, and showing instead the multi-racial, tense mosaic of today's real France, with its poverty, inequalities, beauty and tricky maneuvering in a Robespierrean Palais-de-Justice.The exact balance between down-to-earth, realistic skepticism in the face of the system cogs ("engrenages") and the stubborn, improbable, almost brutal acts of goodness performed by failed individuals.There is no moral grandeur here, no cardboard heroes nor perfect endings. But you turn off the screen completely satisfied and wishing for more.

robapacl-761-331413 The review about forgetting all your previous concepts of TV police is on the mark. Even Bluebloods, which I love and which reminds you that the police are people too, has slips now and then. But Engrenages has you right next to all the people involved, trying to make sense out of what you see, wondering if involvement leads to danger, questioning whether what they're saying is true or an attempt to divert or entrap. I am not a viewer in a chair watching them. I'm there with them, almost through the whole episode. There has never been any other show where I was drawn in so completely. I look in amazement, going back to the days when there was only the radio and movies for me to watch, wondering how, with so many brilliant writers, directors and actors, nothing like this was ever done before. A remarkable tribute to French creativity.

bjarias This is absolutely one great French crime drama TV series. The writing and acting (entire cast) is over the top. And that is why it's so frustrating and annoying to be hung out to dry after the third series.. with one left to go (and just when it looks as if Audrey Fleurot .. bit.ly/12EX5u8 .. and Fitoussi will finally become romantically involved). A web search shows there's no other location where you can get the fourth series (12 episodes). This happens time and again with many series on netflix... but when they are as exceptional as this one is, it gets you really annoyed. (Wikipedia indicates a fifth and sixth series have been ordered.) PS.. now 4 is on netflix.

Ana A. I just watched the Pilot... " The victim that had her face bashed up is blond, has a manicure, must have been beautiful, comes from Eastern Europe(Romania or Poland)...conclusion: SHE MUST BE A PROSTITUTE." What?!!!Really, that's your conclusion? So, when I went on a trip to Paris a few years back, if I would have ended up dead in a ditch, with my face shattered, and a "good manicure"...the French Police would have come, they would have looked at me(what was left of me anyway), checked my ID, they would have scratched their heads and said: "Oh, good, just one less Romanian prostitute!"Oh, but wait, not just one of the characters thinks that all blond Eastern European women with "good manicures" are prostitutes, we have another police guy to reinforce that.Moving on...the victim was actually a Romanian Biology student. Moving on...no she was not...she was a prostitute. She was a prostitute that was studying Biology. How would you like this: " The victim is kind of libidinous...OH, he must be French!" That wouldn't be nice would it?You just have to love narrow-minded people that use offensive generalizations. They manage to touch so many people.So I am not going to use your method, guy ... I don't have a message for all the French people...no...just for you: You should check your family tree dude! Your mother must have come from Eastern Europe too.
