Lucas Bravo may be charming as Gabriel, the chef who steals Emily’s (Lily Collins) heart in the series, “Emily in Paris,” but in the new film “Freedom,” the actor uses his charisma and good looks to steal money and jewels. An amusing scene has two women he robbed remembering little more than how handsome he was when questioned by the police.
Directed by Mélanie Laurant, this nimble caper film is based on the real-life exploits of Bruno Sulak. Bravo is well cast as Bruno, a risk-taker who robs supermarkets with his pal (Steve Tientcheu) while his girlfriend Annie (Léa Luce Busato) drives the getaway car. The thieves steal but they don’t kill. Eventually, they target jewelry stores—because banks are too dangerous.
