Watch: Bastille Day 2016 123movies, Full Movie Online – Michael Mason, a pickpocket living in Paris, steals a bag with a teddy bear in it. Not realizing the toy contains a timed bomb, he tosses it aside on a busy street. A few seconds later it explodes, killing four people. CCTV footage reveals Mason’s face and the French police tag him as a terrorist threat. The explosion, although botched, was set up by a select group of the French Interior Ministry as a decoy so they can make a half billion dollar digital transfer from a bank (closed on French National Day) — hence the title Bastille Day. In a separate CIA investigation the unruly agent Sean Briar discovers the real story behind Mason’s “terrorist attack”. The two men, on different sides of the law, collaborate to bring the corrupt members of the Ministry down..
Plot: Michael Mason is an American pickpocket living in Paris who finds himself hunted by the CIA when he steals a bag that contains more than just a wallet. Sean Briar, the field agent on the case, soon realises that Michael is just a pawn in a much bigger game and is also his best asset to uncover a large-scale conspiracy.

**One wrong move made a small time thief a target.**The first thing is this film came at the worst time in the history of France. If it was set in elsewhere in the world would have had less issue, but the Paris terror attack and this theme had lots of similarity. I mean it was nothing to do with the incident, but the contents are very impactful. Which also might be the reason for the film not doing well. I did not enjoy much this film, for me it was the story that turned me off. It was sympathetic to terrorists in the first half, so I completely hated that part, and then the last 30 or so minutes it got better. I mean not awesome or like that, but just good.
Directed by ‘Eden Lake’ famed director. Another very familiar story, but altered like it was for the first time in a film. So most of the parts are predictable, but one twist during the beginning of the third act made it look good. Amazing pace, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger going forward. But as we know, those developments were so clichéd. All the actors were okay, and it has some decent stunts as well. I think it is a good timepass film and nothing else..
_6/10_
Well this just goes to show that you can put two hot blokes in the same film, set it in Paris, add some car chases and pyrotechnics – and still end up with a dud. Richard Madden (and his terrible attempt at a Nevada accent) is “Mason” an accomplished pickpocket who manages to get himself embroiled in a bombing. Spotted by CCTV, he is soon the quarry of the CIA’s “Briar” (Idris Elba) before the latter realises that he is not their protagonist and that it is best the pair unite to thwart the real terrorists who are using a campaign of civil unrest to mask their real criminal intentions. James Watkins actually manages to keep the pace of this moving along quite well, but the story is far too thin and there is precisely no chemistry on screen between the gents, or between anyone and “Zoe” (Charlotte le Bon) who is also mixed up in all this mayhem. Eye candy can really help a film, and to a certain extent it does here but otherwise this is a standard made for television thriller that is light on just about everything. The condescending tones of the CIA in their dealings with their French counterparts was rather irritating too – no wonder Americans are not always overly welcome in Europe! If this was either man pitching to be the next Daniel Craig, then I’d not give up the day job.
I would love to watch this movie
But a half or so is in French, with no English subtitles, or at least very inconsistent ones. It might be good, Idris is always great, but I lost the plot because I don’t know what half the people in the movie were saying. Shoddy production.
Good Action Flick – Tense & Well-Paced
Granted, the inside bank heist plot is implausible in ‘Bastille Day’ (retitled ‘The Take’ for its USA release), but the director James Watson paces the film so well with non-stop tense moments, and taps Idris Elba’s innate tension-building talents and ability to deliver quick dialogue (as he does with Sorkin’s trademark banter in ‘Molly’s Game’), that one overlooks the spectacularly unrealistic story of the intended heist.This is a pure entertainment escapism – an action film that does not pretend to be more than it is.
Therefore, I’m giving two thumbs up ???????? for a good fun-to-watch action flick. Grab a dish of popcorn and enjoy. Note my 7 Rating means it’s good (like an 8 by most User standards).
Richard Madden and Jose Garcia are well-casted.
Is it just me that thinks Garcia looks and acts a lot like Harvey Kietel in his 30s?!
