Reviews
Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
buktel I would like Delon and Belmondo had come together for the second time at least ten years earlier. Then the action scenes would be not only more credible but more creative, too. The story of the film is basically creative, but the action scenes take more than enough time while the real asset of the story (and of the film, too) was not the action but the relation of the three major characters. I would like to see much more scenes about the relations of the extraordinary characters and smart dialogs among them, that is, I would rather to enjoy the magnetism of the acting and personalities of the extraordinary triangle of Delon/Belmondo/Paradis than to watch the ordinary explosions, ordinary mafia guys, ordinary car chases, ordinary flying bullets and the other similarly ordinary trifles.Delon and Belmondo must come together for a third time, and this time without waiting for ten years more. Yes it may be already late. But now is better than later or never.
Su (bluegum4) This is like the French James Bond. It was such fun, yet thrilling too.The story of a girl looking for a father, finding two and so very much more. Lots of bullets and high speed car chases. I really enjoyed it.
gts-3 A downright oddity, in fact two movies in one. The first being a comedy about two possible fathers coming to terms with the idea of being a parent. The second a tough as nails russian-mafia-flic, harsh, brutal and not for the faint of heart. Logically the two don´t melt into one and the cross cutting of the two story lines in the film´s early stages only stresses the fact.But, on the other hand, who cares about a story or its coherence or its lack of respectively? This is a reunion movie and since it´s Alain Delon who is reunited with Jean-Paul Belmondo ("Borsalino" anyone?)all you can ask for is nonchalant banter in between casual shootouts. And that´s what you get. That´s in fact all you get. And that´s why the film well overstays its welcome.The only reason for distinguished director Patrice Leconte to do this may have been to share a credit with not one but two living legends of the French cinema. And though Belmondo and Delon may having had fun they´re way to old for this kind of physical exercise. We will be giving standing ovations in case any of the three (stars and director) would decide to do a serious crime flic or a "serious" comedy. As for "Une chance pour deux", it isn´t neither.
Carlos Garcia Campillo Ok... so Une Chance Sur Deux is not the greatest movie evermade! I'll give you that. It's not even Belmondo's or Delon'sbest film. But it is a very, very entertaining piece of film! Ifyou are a fan of both this actors (like I am) you'll just loveseeing them together in action in this film. And the productionvalues sure help. All in all, you'll have a great two hours offun. Highly recommended.
