It's almost impossible to find a recent French film WITHOUT Vincent Cassel. And, like most other films he's been in, his talents are well used in this one- far superior to Jean Reno's performance which seems formulaic and contrived. It undoubtedly seems his personal friendship with writer/director/actor Matthieu Kassovitz enhances his acting. This outing pits two cops on the trail of a lascivious killer who tortures his victims before offing them. Basically, it's Se7en light. And it is pretty well done. Rentable..
But personally, (and i'm usually VERY bad at this) i knew who the killer was midway thru the film as well as most of the accomplices. The surprise element would've and could've been much greater if they had dropped a few less hints. By the way, did we really need that car chase scene?? Bottom line: A good ride, but no seatbelts necessary.
