This movie is awful.
This is nevertheless an action packed french thriller with amazing chases and fights sequences; in the line of NE LE DIS A PERSONNE or A BOUT PORTANT. But sooooo predictable !!!
You can guess the ending after only twenty minutes of viewing.
What a shame because Dupontel is here convincing as an actor and as a stuntman too. He shows the audience what Jean Paul Belmondo did in the seventies with features such as PEUR SUR LA VILLE, and many other films...
The bad guy in this movie is interesting too, with his child molester and killer gentle sissy face. You may want to enter in the film and smash his pretty face of ideal son in law...and his wife as an accomplice is interesting too. Not so usual characters, far from clichés.
But, unfortunately, I repeat, this film is too much in the American way for my taste. See what I mean?
See the ending, for instance.
And there are also too many improbabilities:
-- How can an ex con, who spent eighteen months in the can, run faster than a trained police officer?
-- And how can a man shot in the leg run like a rabbit?
-- And how can the same man wounded in the belly by a buckshot bullet fall from a cliff and run away like anyone else?
No, really, I hate this film. Even with his good subplots.
I preferred LE CONVOYEUR, with the same Dupontel. This was a really poignant, dark and downbeat film noir as I love.
This one, OUT !!!
