Movie Reviews of The Crook
Movie Review: Never quite a thriller, never quite a comedy...
Summary: 3 Stars
Voyou aka The Crook/Simon the Swiss is one of Claude Lelouch's more polished efforts, reuniting him with Un Homme et Une Femme star Jean-Louis Trintignant in a good-looking number that's never quite a thriller, never quite a comedy and never quite a drama but which still passes the time pleasingly enough. The anarchy pretty much begins and ends with the striking opening musical number and a central flashback sequence that's so clumsily placed it takes you a good 20 minutes to realise you're watching a flashback, and it is difficult to root for a crook who kidnaps a small child (especially in light of recent events in the UK and Portugal), but it's not at all bad if you're in the right mood for it.
