L'Intoxe

A group of small-time criminals attempts a daring heist, believing they are stealing jewels. However, they inadvertently end up with a briefcase full of counterfeit money. This unexpected turn of events leads them into a chaotic series of misadventures as they try to navigate the dangerous world of forgery and evade both the law and the rightful owners of the fake currency.

L'Intoxe received a mixed reception upon its release. While some critics praised its fast-paced plot and comedic moments, others found its humor to be somewhat crude and its narrative predictable. The film is generally considered a minor entry in French crime-comedy cinema of the era.

• Praised for its energetic pace and moments of slapstick humor.
• Criticized for a predictable plot and sometimes unrefined comedy.
• Seen as a lighthearted, if somewhat formulaic, crime caper.

Google audience: Audience reception for L'Intoxe is not widely documented on Google reviews. However, general sentiment suggests it is viewed as a typical 80s French comedy-crime film, enjoyable for its genre elements but not particularly groundbreaking.

The film's director, Gérard Krawczyk, later became well-known for directing the action-comedy 'Taxi 2' and 'Taxi 3'.
