Bis an die Grenze

More of a character study from different perspectives than a full-blown movie. It is difficult to digest why Virginie needed to form a relationship with the cocky tinted cop who seemed to be totally in love with himself and for most of the movie was patronizing towards her. Can understand the husband's slight outburst when he has to deal with their young child almost alone. So things don't appear to totally ring true. Would have been better if the deportee's background and situation had been better explained. Instead he simply broods throughout the movie. Had potential but not fully explored. Felt a little cheated at the end where you have to decide on everyone's fate for yourself . Female lead was the best performance but not a movie to embrace. Felt a little self-indulgent and over-arty.

This is not a crime film. Although it takes place in a police station and then inside a police vehicle taking an illegal immigrant back to the border.

The director tries to make her story modern by retelling the same scene three times, that is, from the point of view of our three protagonists, in a form that takes its time. They then asked them to invite a foreigner to the airport to be deported to a horrific sin where he risks death. Anne Fontaine makes the right choice not to have the foreigner speak French, and above all not to have him express himself, to focus on the moods of our three policemen and their dilemma: should they respect the procedure, or let him go, i.e. Escape, with the risks incurred for them, and for him, who is not neutral.

The film exposes the personal background of each of our police officers, as any video-on-demand series now does. This background is a little boring at times. As does the sentimental intrigue between some of them. But the actors are good and committed, and we believe in their dilemmas.

Come on Omar don't let things slip after Lupin, Intouchables etc etc don't get caught acting with a poor script.

Was easy going and painless.

A must see, sensitive narrative of three police officers in charge of conducting a political extradite to the airport. The plot is shown (lightly) within the four character perspectives, and only marginally focus on international fairness regarding political issues, as decisions are immediate personal responses.

You have a lot of suspens on this film... for nothing.

You wait for something happen with flayed and deep characters in the everyday routine desapointement.

Just a day in the life of 3 policemans with a conscience problem
