ARMY OF CRIME is a revealing thriller about the very first days of the French Resistance to Nazi occupation, a time when many of the movement's leaders and foot soldiers were often foreigners - Poles, Jews, Armenians, Spaniards, Italians - who feared French collaborators as much as the Germans. Armenian poet Missak Manouchian, portrayed in a stand-out performance by Simon Abkarian, and his French wife Mélinée, played by the luminous Virginie Ledoyen, lead a resolute assortment of volunteers against German occupiers and their French allies. Varying in their actual homelands, and in their personal and tragic reasons for joining the struggle, they are united by the understanding that the danger and ferocity of Nazi oppression will only increase unless squarely confronted. Their valiant plot to assassinate a general ultimately shows that resistance is indeed possible, but their activity attracts the attention of the German high command, which extracts from their act of defiance an unforgettable lesson for the French people. -- (C) Lorber

New Review For Movie Army of Crime (L'Armée du Crime)
A solid, spellbinding drama based closely on real history, which along the way offers a not-so-subtle commentary on the diverse, immigrant-rich society of contemporary France.Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com
A passionate act of remembrance.
Stephen Holden-New York Times
This is a fact-based story of the French resistance who had to fight not only the Germans but their own people.
Leba Hertz-San Francisco Chronicle
There's no sense of the oppression France felt under Nazi rule. It's all just play-acting in period-specific attire. You can almost hear the AD calling lunch.
Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York
Virginie Ledoyen stars as Missak's impossibly lovely, stalwart wife, and a troupe of supporting players give life to the men and women who died not for the miserable France of that moment, but for the vision of what it could be.
Michelle Orange-Village Voice
His film is always fascinating and is a crucial, stirring addition to the cinema about wartime France.
Dave Calhoun-Time Out
... Guédiguian punctures a lot of myths about the face-and the motives-of the French resistance.
Sean Axmaker-Parallax View
... Guediguian, working with a screenplay by Serge Le Peron and Gilles Taurand, gives the good old-fashioned epic treatment to an important chapter of history.
Sarah Boslaugh-Playback:stl
A young and talented cast put energy into this timeless story of the citizen warriors of occupied France.
Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics
Robert Guediguian makes a fascinating Altmanesque character study of a mixed group of foreign resistance fighters (called the "FTP-MOI") working in Paris to undermine the Nazi-led removal of Jews during World War II.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
Impressive recreation of World War II French Resistance movement, marked by a deep humanity and piercing intelligence.
David Noh-Film Journal International
By presenting his heroes warts and all and by consistently adopting a matter-of-fact tone, the film feels appropriately tense because the stakes are believable.
Dan Lybarger-MovieMaker Magazine
Better and far more complex films about the French Resistance have been made
Chris Cabin-Filmcritic.com
Unlike Inglourious Basterds, objectively superior from a cinematic standpoint, this French resistance drama evinces some interest in assessing the ethical compromises required of those opposing Nazi rule.
Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine
A revealing look at the French Resistance but one that is more intellectual than action-packed.
Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve
Compelling performances and beautifully told heroics but the pacing is flawed in terms of a thrilling cinematic experience.
Philip De Semlyen-Empire Magazine
Complex and striking, Guédiguian's film is an impressive new spin on a topic that has been oft explored.
James Mottram-Film4
Guédiguian manages to make this a worthy companion piece to Melville's resistance classic Army in the Shadows; the same remorseless dread stalks both.
Andrew Pulver-Guardian [UK]
A credible, detailed picture of day-to-day life in occupied France: an attraction in itself.
Edward Porter-Sunday Times (UK)
A consistently exciting, morally engaging movie.
Philip French-Observer [UK]

Movie Overview For Army of Crime (L'Armée du Crime)
This gripping historical drama recounts the story of Armenian-born Missak Manouchian (Simon Abkarian), a woodworker and political activist who led an immigrant laborer division of the Parisian Resistance on 30 operations against the Nazis in 1943. The Nazis branded the group an Army of Crime, an anti-immigrant propaganda stunt that backfired as the team's members became martyrs for the Resistance. Virginie Ledoyen co-stars as Manouchian's wife.TagLine Army of Crime (L'Armée du Crime)
