Whilst not exactly original, Hunting with Tigers offers enough worthwhile content, to fit comfortably, into the French action crime thriller genre. This film delivers plenty of action with a certain vibe that's hard to define in words but feels, inherently French. Its kind of gritty, earthy but also has a certain flair and style, that's very much evident, in this film. Most notably, the courthouse shoot out, which is central to this film's story of loyalty and honour (of a kind). Characterisations follow a similar trajectory. Its hard hitting, no nonsense stuff with tough guys doing tough guy things. Its nicely balanced with a sense of comradery and jokery fellowship. On the downside there are a few conspicuous plot holes and it all feels a little preposterous but again, that could be said to be part of the fun. In summary, a solid, middle of the road, French crime action thriller. Something the French seem to excel at. Definitively worth a look.
