The only survivor of a lightning attack, sergeant Denis Quillard sets the foot on a Russian mine .He is stuck in the middle of the Afghan desert ,alone with his fears and his doubts.The enemy is approaching.The countdown has begun.

The problem with a story which takes place in a tiny space is that it's difficult to sustain the interest throughout ; "buried" (2010) brillantly took up the challenge and suspense kept the viewer glued to his chair ; "the wall" (2017) was almost as good, with an unexpected brilliant ending.

The same does not go for " piégé " :one feels for the hero,and the actor has to be praised for his thankless part ;but the events and devolpments are too few and far between ,nothing really happens .Besides ,is it possible to be standing under a blistering sun during such a long time without eating ,and ,mainly drinking?

There are beautiful shots of the desert ,and the idea was not derivative,but the treatment is not adequate .
