In 2010 movie L'appât. Actresses Ayisha Issa and Maxim Roy play as female villains Van Cleef and Pinard. A good classic french comedy with the gorgeous Ayisha Issa, this is the first time I watch this movie, it seems that I watched all movies Ayisha Issa is known for, I remember her in Immortals, and in Brick Mansions where she also played a villainess, and she was in Polar, but somehow I can't remember exactly the character she played. Ayisha Issa is gorgeous, she would stand out in any movie, and it seems she's the lead in 2024 movie Dark Match, which is kind of cool, I love seeing actress who played characters that I loved keep doing movies, not just having good movie then you can't find anything new from them.
We start to see our villainess around 14 minute mark, with her badass outfit and her Motocycle, it seems that the hero detective Ventura played by Rachid Badouri is her target. She chase the hero while he's driving the car with his body, but Ventura saw her and knew he was being followed, the trick for you not to notice if the one driving the Motocycle is a stuntman is to make the stuntman do the hard tricks and switch between the cuts to a female biker, which kind of trick your mind to think the stuntman doesn't exist. So, our villainess tried to shoot the heroes and failed then went away, probably to try to finish the job another day, since now she lost the element of surprise. Ventura disguising as Italian driver is so funny, he could've just kept his mouth shut, they will never buy it. The other hero Poirier went to the funeral of the mafia boss and went to talk about how he died with him, what an idiot, he made a mess LOL.
The heroes went to some night club, Ventura went in with problem, and the security stopped his partner and told him "Be strong" and felt bad for him. Then Ventura was caught by the bad guys and they beat him up, it was really funny. Watching this movie made me thinking, the movie doesn't try to force anything, it doesn't try to thought police you, just a fun action comedy movie, not like the soulless corporate characters that either want to enforce you to like some character, so they make them perfect in every way, give them all screen time, try to give them what's appealing in evil characters and heroic characters, and on the other hand want to enforce you to hate a character and do the exact opposite, and they put a huge efforts to make them boring and unwatchable, try to deny them anything that may make them likable, the absolute majority of what Hollywood make today isn't art, just a trash and a waste of time.
The shootout between the gorgeous villainess and the two heroes around 57 minute mark is just awesome, take this action scene and compare it with at least 95% modern Hollywood trash and you would feel that this movie come from 20 years in the future LOL.
I had a problem understanding the movie, the bits I manged to get were so fun, plus the action scenes were great, but I guess the bad guys manged to win at the end and the heroes became fugitive or something 😁😁😁.
