"Les Quatre cents coups, better known as The 400 Blows, a film that every man can relate to, because every man once was a boy. It also bears the historical importance of being among the first films of the Nouvelle Vague, along with Breathless. [The last shot] is one of the few freeze fames that I think really works in the history of film. When you do a freeze frame, you have the opportunity to find the exact shot that you want — no guessing. And [director Francois Truffaut] used it to the full effect."

Opens with the threat of sweeping, gorgeous spectacle but not long after just sort of settles for a collection of watchable action scenes - and that's fine I guess. You've still got Taylor-Johnson in tasty nut mode (complete with peculiar accent) and some dirty, brute violence that doesn't fully satisfy but comes closer than a lot of these outings usually do. Nothing special whatsoever and actually made me retroactively second-guess how good 𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘳 𝘏𝘪𝘨𝘩 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 actually was but you could do worse. I'm just tired of this rote historical B.S.
