You won't be disappointed!

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I love French movies, they always have something about them that others don't. But not Mea Culpa. This is the first French movie I've ever seen that is as dumb as the dumbest Hollywood movie. Essentially, a kid witnesses a murder and then the rest of the movie is a bunch of set pieces. That's it. And not good set pieces either. Just set pieces that are an excuse for punching, kicking and shooting in the manner of a Michael Bay movie. No characters you cared a jot for, which is a sin for a French movie, and proof yet again that fast cuts do not an interesting movie make. A waste of everyone's time. Fortunately, after about 20 minutes I watched the rest on fast forward so not too much time in my case.

Simon was a police officer in Toulon until he was involved in a car crash, after a bout of heavy drinking, which left three people dead. He went to prison and his marriage broke down but he finds himself working with his old partner again after his young son witnesses the latest killing in a drug related gang war. These thugs will stop at nothing to eliminate any witnesses but Simon, and his friend Franck, will do what it takes to stop them.If you are hoping for gritty realism you are likely to be disappointed; but if you want lots of action then you could do a lot worse. There are chases, both on foot and in cars, fights and shootouts. It all leads to an impressive final confrontation aboard a train as numerous killers close in on Simon and his family. This action is pretty exciting and at times quite brutal. Vincent Lindon and Gilles Lellouche do in impressive job as Simon and Franck; their characters have a good chemistry and make their characters feel real. The final scene does feature an unexpected, and to my mind unnecessary, twist although it didn't spoil my enjoyment of what had gone before. Overall this is a solid thriller; I'd certainly recommend it to fans of the genre.These comments are based on watching the film in French with English subtitles.

An accident can mess up your life completely. Especially if you're not in control ... Some might call it tough luck, others unfortunate circumstances, but whatever the case our main lead had a rough ride up until now and it doesn't seem to get better for him (or his family, whether they are close to him or not doesn't matter, because he does care for them).The acting is more than solid and the story is really nicely and expertly told. There might be things that you can tell happening and you might see twists even before they are revealed fully, but that doesn't take anything away from the movie. It just shows you've seen a lot of movies, which isn't a bad thing either. A lot french thrillers seem to be worth your while, definitely this one

When I saw the trailer of Mea Culpa, I was really seduced. Vincent Lindon and Gilles Lellouche together in a thriller with real tough scenes, I jumped on this must see ... and I wasn't disappointed at all.And the movie begins very hard, and it goes on like this till the end : lot of twists and surprises all along the movie, with physical strength and action packed sequences. And noir destiny, very noir.Believe it, editing and cinematography serve effectively each scene, and you are always surprised. A constant pleasure. And a very smart ending.Vincent Lindon and Gilles Lellouche are stunning, I just loved their magnetic friendship. They are the main characters really developed.There are some relevant references to classic movies masterpieces, which make want to see again Framed directed by Phil Karlson, same kind of fights.I'm waiting for the next Fred Cavayé.
