Le Mac (2010) - film review
Pascal Bourdiaux
Comedy / Crime

Summary
Chapelle is the archetypal bank employee: dull, unadventurous, in short
a Grade A wimp. But his life takes a more exciting turn when the
cops burst into his office one day and make him an offer he cannot
refuse. To his amazement, Chapelle learns that he has a twin
brother, a notorious pimp named Ace le Mac. The French police
have received information that Le Mac is planning a spectacular
criminal exploit with another gangster and are determined to thwart it,
with Chapelle’s help. The timid banker has a choice. He can
either spend the next twenty years rotting in jail or he can
impersonate his brother. Chapelle has just thirty seconds to make
up his mind....
