Synopsis

FOLLOWING in the same fine comic tradition of director Francis Veber’s previous hits, LE PLACARD aka THE CLOSET and LE DÎNER DE CONS aka THE DINNER GAME, the plot relies heavily on cars, cell phones and sudden bursts of superhuman strength as Jean Reno and Gérard Depardieu repeatedly hop out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Quentin (Gérard Depardieu) is far too literal-minded to succeed as a crook. But what he lacks in intellect he makes up for in brute strength. Yet Quentin likes to talk the way most of us like to breathe (hence the title). Ruby (Jean Reno) on the other hand is the strong silent type who has managed to hide £15 million purloined from his rival before ending up in a cell with Quentin who mistakes Ruby's silence for good listening skills. A great, completely one-sided friendship is born.

This is Depardieu's fifth performance in a Francis Veber film (after LA CHÈVRE, LES COMPÈRES, LES FUGITIFS and LE PLACARD) and clearly the collaboration must be mutually satisfying.
