Half a Chance

1998 · 110 min

A breezy, star-powered caper that coasts on charm, banter and a few well-timed chases rather than real danger.

Overview: Alice Tomaso gets out of jail, and goes looking for Léo and Julien, one of whom, it appears, is her father. On the way, she steals the wrong car - one belonging to the Russian mafia, and arrives at her destination with a gang of thugs out looking for her and the car.
How it feels: Light, whimsical, tense and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Family, identity, crime, friendship
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
