Has anybody seen this movie? It's a French crime/suspense/thriller that really took me by surprise!!
It was a slow movie week, so I was doing a little hunting for something to watch when I ran across this.

The TATER-meter gave it 93% so I thought what the heck and gave this little French indy a spin.


Wow....good stuff!! I often don't agree with critics, but I do on this one. Very well done and I was hooked from beginning to the very end. Lots of suspense!! Being this is a French Indy with a widest release of only 112 theaters, I'm guessing many of you have not seen this movie.


I highly recommend you do.................... 4 stars

This movie was a real find.....

I agree, very good foreign film. The wife and I got it on Netflix a couple months ago due to the good reviews.

It's always fun to find that little known movie virtually nobody has heard of.......give it a spin with very little expectations....and then be pleasantly surprised with a really good movie.

This post has not been updated in over a year, but for those looking for other French titles that will play in Region A:

The only one that I've seen on that list on BD is the thread title here. I think a few said OSS 117 is funny.

I've just about given up hope in seeing Le Poulpe on any format, even VHS, in the US.

A French animation that would be cool to see arrive on BD would be the Triplets of Belleville. The dog dreams were pretty funny I remember.

I swear Luc Besson (and possibly more filmmakers as well) changed that country into a stealth filmmaking machine. The French are really coming along.

I saw it in my local art-house theater and enjoyed it. I will have to do it again when it comes out on video. France has had an excellent film culture for a long time, but most of them are way too FRENCH don't work real well for American mainstream audiences. Their government regulates films and penalizes companies that cater too much to our audiences, but many of them are quite good. I catch them at our local foreign film theater and generally enjoy them as long as they have subtitles and are not dubbed.

Very interesting.....sadly, that doesn't surprise me.

I used to live there for a while, and I never heard of such a thing. The one common piece of knowledge the laymen shared regarding "protection" of their culture was that a certain percentage of all the music played on the radio had to be in French (because, c'mon, everyone loves American rock 'n roll).

It also surprises me a bit, because American movies are very popular in Europe, and that includes France. The only thing I was concerned about when watching an American movie in Europe was making sure it wasn't dubbed, but subtitled.
