Influence Peddling

About This Movie

Influence Peddling is a quirky little comedy from '99 that really has its own vibe. The dynamic between Maxime and Gerard, two hapless white-collar criminals, is interesting, especially as they navigate their impending prison term. Sandrine, the young police officer, adds a refreshing layer of sincerity to the chaos. The pacing feels almost frenetic at times, especially when you throw in the assassins after them—definitely not your typical escort duty. There’s a blend of dark humor and absurdity that gives it a distinct flavor. The performances are pretty solid, capturing that tension between desperation and humor. Not something you see every day, but it has its charm, even if it’s a bit uneven in places.
