Not Boukrief at his best.

Warning: Spoilers
This story is too much predictable. From the beginning, I was afraid of the ending. I expected to be wrong. But, what a shame, I was dam right. It's a shame because this movie, this thriller is taut, sharp, effective. Two street cops - a man and a woman - are implicated in the arrest and assault of a senator's son. They are in deep s...And they will have to prove their good faith because, in the meanwhile, they are discharged from their duty. They get undercover, but only by their own means, without the help of their hierarchy.

During a moment, I thought of Lili Fini Zanuck's RUSH. But Fred Testot is not Jason Patric. One good sequence is when Cecile De France kills in cold blood a petty hood who could jeopardize their plans. And Julien Boisselier playing a fierce gang leader is outstanding, or maybe unbelievable. Julien Boisselier and his face of a gentle school teacher.

In short, it's far better than Boukrief's previous picture CORTEX, about old timers, but I expected better.

He made a movie about money movers, armored guards, about street cops,perhaps will he make a film about prison wardens or firemen. Like Walter Hill and his TRESSPASS...

But that's another story.
