10/10
Loved it nice surprise thriller
3 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This movie starts out as what seems to be some sort of dull yuppie relationship garbage (I wonder if the bad character Kremer was a play on Kramer vs. Kramer??) Then it suddenly becomes a great thriller as Paul Exben ex-financial attorney eschews the Kramer vs. Kramer garbage and takes off as a fugitive with identity theft.

He becomes a sought after talented photographer---unlike the bad one his wife took off with.

There are a lot of subtle things..He begins to look at his kid and he resembles his infidel unhappy wife's lover.

No, this movie is fantastic on so many levels. The photography of the Croatian coast all of it.

Happily he is not caught by the police but it ends as he starts a new life of some sort in Italy.

I like movies that switch gears suddenly rather than some plodding predictable formula. This movie moves fast has memorable believable characters (the 62 boozy French journalist and Ivana are great characters) all around good. Boy this director knows how to type cast! And direct creating very convincing characters.

Highly Recommend
