Frank Valken, a high-flying armed robber, has just carried out one last seamless major heist. At least that's what he believes... As the ideal suspects, Valken and his gang find themselves caught up in a criminal case dating from thirty years earlier. It looks as if the mad killers are back... (Venice International Film Festival)

El argumento es sencillo y ligeramente predecible, pero la crudeza del crimen al estilo europeo occidental y el frío trabajo de los personajes está hecho con estilo. Y lo más importante lidera la experiencia sibarita el carismático «gánster bueno» Olivier Gourmet. La escena en la que él y un colega se deshacen de los coches de policía en la autopista es una hermosa muestra de la rebeldía juvenil de unos tipos que están soberanamente por encima de la ley. Me recordó a la independencia del grupo de De Niro de la obra maestra de referencia Heat. Para los fans del género negro de acción francés está genial. Pero solo para ellos, no hay que esperar nada más de él.

Belgium comes up with a stylish and raw gangster flick that won't leave fans of similar films cold. In the 1980s, Belgium was in the grip of a gang of ruthless thieves who left a trail of dead bodies in their wake, and they didn't care if they were women or children. They were never caught, and that doesn't play into the hands of Valken and his crew, who are now the prime suspects. The performances are excellent (Olivier Gourmet is classically great and I also liked the policewoman plpayed by Lubna Azabal). It's nicely Western, dynamic, adrenaline-fuelled, twisted and properly manly. Belgium pulled it off. 80%.
