For 200 Grand, You Get Nothing Now

For 200 Grand, You Get Nothing Now (1982) is a French comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Édouard Molinaro — best known internationally for La Cage aux Folles. Daniel Auteuil and Gérard Jugnot play two unemployed friends who have decided that enough is enough.

Their preparation for the heist is extensive by their standards: several gangster films, a pair of borrowed ski masks, and toy guns that look convincing enough at a distance. They walk into the bank, take hostages, and things proceed smoothly — until the hostages work out the situation and start negotiating for a cut.

An early entry in Auteuil's career, shot with the loose, sardonic energy of early-eighties French comedy. Watch it online on iFILM.
