Now sometimes there is one aspect that may sway you to actually enjoy something more than others. In this case it may be the bike riding and the "stunts" in general. I read from another reviewer that this is losely based/inspired on "Le Prince Noir" (Black Prince). I have not seen that short (which is b/w according to the other reviewer) and has really good cinematography, style wise similar to the way this movie was shot.
Having said all that, the plot here is really nothing you haven't seen before or anything you will remember for long after you've seen the movie. So if you like the way the bike scenes are filmed, good for you, otherwise you may be underwhelmed by the movie overall.

You deal here with a powerful French grade B movie with no length at all. A dynamite rythm urban crime flick made in the suburb of Paris. Effective, tense, taut feature speaking of a young motorcycle racer whose luck drops him, and also whose girlfriend gets involved with dangerous drug dealers; a hero who suddenly falls into deep sh...So, to emerge from this hell for him, he has no other choice to transport drug shipments, using his high speed driving skills on a high speed motorcycle. You have plenty of thrills here, you are stuck to your seat all long this pretty well made piece of work. And the ending is also more than worth.

REVIEW - BURN OUT
French film but......
What would you do to help a loved one escape debt especially if they owe money to a drugs dealer?
This film follows the story of how a man, working and following his dream of becoming a professional motorcycle racer becomes embroiled in the delivery of drugs using his motor racing skills to do so and I must admit that cinematography whilst riding the motor bike is brilliantly done giving you the actual perspective of the run / chased.
Interesting story with enough to keep you watching until the end and great characters.
