“[Dog 51], which features impressive action and vfx, has the full scope and scale of a proper science-fiction film that French filmmakers have seldom dared to venture into, with the exception of Luc Besson”

“Paris is not so much the city of light as a Big Brother police state in Cédric Jimenez’ high-octane thriller. Taking place in the near future it sees the French capital divided into three zones that separate the social classes, and a predictive AI having revolutionised law enforcement. — Doses of Blade Runner, pinches of Hunger Games — An engaging ride — One that – paradoxically – adorns this post-democratic dystopia with more than a soupçon of Parisian romance, energy and sex appeal. The smouldering double act between mismatched cops Salia (Adèle Exarchopoulos) and Zem (Gilles Lellouche) provides the fuel. —
Jimenez’ tasty genre number is keen to cut, literally, to the chase – and it’s the right call.”
– Lee Marshall / Screen International
