Directed by Guillaume CanetRated R
2006
125 minutes
**** 1/2
A modern French thriller that harkens back to the days of "don't let anyone in the theater after the first five minutes of the film" filmmaking, there are so many twists in this film I wouldn't dare ruin any of them for you. Add to that a brilliant performance by a man I hope will soon become commonplace (Francois Cluzet) and an assortment of characters you'd probably expect more in an American thriller than a French one, and you have proof that France is capable of making a lot more than just arthouse features.
