Odd Job Movie Reviews

Great movie

Very well done on all aspects. Accolades to all cast and crew. Love the way European movies are so not Hollywood!

My only criticism (reason for 8 stars not nine) is having to read subtitles I miss out on the visuals and the odd bit of dialogue as I am slow reader.

Promising dark comedy

This movie has all the premise to be great, but it falls short in the second part. It builds up nicely and then fizzles, runs out of steam. So many lost opportunities for twists and turns, this could have been a great dark comedy. Instead, we’re left with strong start that never truly delivers, and stale scenes that could have been much more.

The leading pair fails to build good screen chemistry, I was never convinced of their “drama” – it’s as if they never rehearsed the lines before, and somehow I don’t think it’s because Romain.

Romain Duris is a great actor, and he does a great job navigating the role and evolving it for us to see. I’m glad to see the European industry still has a beating heart.

Definitely a movie to watch.

However, I will give this a solid 7/10, it’s well deserved.

This gun’s for hire.

Black humor is a genre difficult to handle ; this story of an unemployed guy who becomes a hired killer can be looked upon as a spoof on the “serious” thrillers;and ,thanks to a wonderful cast and hilarious lines in the grand tradition of Michel Audiard ,it brilliantly succeeds .

The secondary characters are a superb gallery of weirdoes: half-wit Mulot (Thomas Mustin ) who teaches the trick of the trades to the new gas station man -the place where to smoke and the place where to steal beers -, good guy Tom (Gustave Kervern ) who wants to remain honest , hateful executive ,complete with suit and tie (Alex Lutz)

Both principals (Duris and Blanc) make an enthusing pair,the latter recalling Bernard Blier in those spoofs of long ago ; there’s a tendency to scatology and urine plays a prominent part in the story ,but it inspires excellent gags ,avoiding vulgarity: Duris’s double revenge on Lutz’s smug swagger (the winner who represents the careerist society he hates ); the old shotgun which was used as a toilet brush .

Till the last picture ,one wonders whether the hitman will renege on his “oddjob” .After all ,he’s at odds with the society.
