Plot: Set in Marseille, anti-gang police gang with unorthodox methods investigate a shooting at a nightclub alongside a longtime rival unit. A loyal cop gets caught in the crosshairs of police corruption and warring gangs in the city South of France and takes matters into his own hands!
My Movie Review: The movie is a violent actioner near the beginning a shooting takes place in a bar and there's some blood splatter with graphic violence, gore that's put you on the spot:0 Rouge City is once in a blue moon kinda film true to its French roots as Variety reported, film which is set in Marseille was indeed shot as on location in the South of France around that city! Law-defying cops would be a tough sell the cops look like thugs trying to look like cops but Rogue City is oblivious to the change context surrounding their stories you get use to onwards! Everybody lives in huge, expansive villas-the cops have beautiful catamaran-boats so unreal! You don't really understand who is who? as everybody is corrupt, confesses or invents one, intrigues, steals money, shoots, kills or gets killed, you don't know and that's makes it exciting:) The final two killings are the most brutal Vronski is shot dead in front of his wife Zoé's eyes while Leonetti's daughter is shown to be confronted by two unknown men, it is later revealed the person behind the killings is Vronski's rival Stephan Jankovic as last shot hit the final blow:)
Movie News: Netflix movie Rogue City is known as Bronx in its native France, where the word is sort of slang for Fubar. The movie written and directed by former cop Olivier Marchal doesn’t necessarily review itself in that sense, but it may test your resolve for good cop/bad cop/bad cop/bad cop/worse cop twisty thrillers. There’s a shootout at a seaside bar, one gang gunning for another. Lots of innocent folk die in a hail of bullets. That and other recent goings-on in the criminal underworld don’t add up, so internal affairs is investigating the unit for corruption. Vronski furrows his brow. A couple dozen other characters follow suit. I haven’t completely lost my patience with this type of movie, but I quickly lost it with Rogue City, what with its cast of relentless scowlers, ever-shifting loyalties, lack of any real characters and general cynicism for the state of the human soul, which is so fragile, so easily coerced, so frequently blasted full of holes by other souls soon to be blasted full of holes by other souls who– you get it. And for What? A little bit of money? There’s more to life than money you know. And it’s a beautiful day:)
