"Wingwomen" (original French title Voleuses) is new on Netflix.  I went in thinking it was an action comedy, I think it was billed that way.  It had a few funny parts, but IMO to call it a comedy is a disservice.  While it did have some action, it was fairly slow paced.  More of a drama or character study even.  I've seen Melanie Laurent in a few English language movies.  I thought this was her directorial debut (she acts in it as well), but looking at imdb she's directed several previously.  While I found it interesting enough, I was a bit underwhelmed...until the big finale.  Then the pacing and build up made sense.  Quite a dramatic end.  She has a number of credits but I don't think I've seen Adele Exarchopoluos before.  She made quite an impression.  She and Melanie work together, high end thieves.  Melanie is the brains and Adele the muscle/weapons expert.  They are also in love with each other, but they are both hetero (?), so it's a complicated dynamic.  They are under the thumb of their handler, played by Isabelle Adjani.

IMDB doesn't even have her listed in the credits, but they found a little girl who reminds me of the Olsen twins when Full House first started.
