Le passager

The Passenger starts with a very workable plotline, but doesn't seem to put enough work into delivering its possibility. A watchable series, it's held back by lazy, sloppy writing, leading the episodes with happy coincidences, lucky breaks, repeated way too easy escapes, and incredibly convenient chance encounters. The series tries to present high intrigue by dragging the story all over France for no apparent reason, and the characters seem to get around with lightning speed. But instead of adding depth or grandeur to the events (a la Bourne's world hopping), it just comes across as unnecessary. Some expected red herrings along the way... a little sex thrown in... not a bad way to spend a few hours, all in all.

Awful on every level; story line, dialogue, acting, casting....

The guy she sleeps with looks exactly like her father but not so grey!!!!!

Quite interesting but some really silly and unbelievable bits.

A very well respected cast, and the performance of Agogué, with all of her statuesque, gallic nonchalence certainly catches the eye.

Unfortunately, her romance with Anglade's character is not convincing in the least; not on a physical, emotional, or even an intellectual level.

In brief, the story is bold, intriguing and ambitious, but the execution is so burdened by clichés, procedural flaws and gross improbabilities, that it simply fails to pull you in. - 5.8/10.
