L'impasse

The first part I saw it with skeptikism. Old ingredients, from past romance of youth and the brutal end, the sepia images of past, a not so original mix of romance and crime.

But the presence of Thierry Neuvic and. Gwendoline Hamon, like Andrea Ferreol are a good point, like the fair craft of mature love story and the construction of story of death of. Tomas Cassagne father.

Indeed, a lot of mistakes and serious dose of unrealism, cheap solutions and too familiar recipe of recipe Meurtre a... . But it reminds, in reasonable - decent way confrontation against traumas, of past or recent, the domination of mother and the interest for fortune.

So, not memorable, not so bad.

I think renaming L'impasse to Fatal Reunion for the English-speaking countries was a mistake as its bland, generic title gives it an uninteresting Lifetime movie feel.

Despite the twists and turns in L'impasse, the way the movie played out was simply dull and uninspiring. Sure, there were loose ends and unfinished subplots, but L'impasse gets a pass because many movies are like that these days. After all, we're at the age where quantity over quality reigns, and the more films the streaming services have, the better it is for their bottom line.

At least the film had some delicious eye candy, such as sweeping scenes of islands and sprawling glistening cities and sea. To be fair, the acting from all wasn't that bad, but the implausible melodramatic script dragged the entire production down.

If Lifetime-type movies are your thing, and you enjoy scenes of sweeping vistas, L'impasse fits the bill. Otherwise, look elsewhere to be entertained.

I am a big fan of French movies, especially crime movies, or thrillers. This movie is the worst I have ever seen. Looks like a student film. 2 screenwriters no less were required to rewrite the book for a TV movie? Boring. The chemistry between the actors is unbelievable, as is the acting. Even an actor or actress who surpassed themselves. The actions of the female police officer friend of the film's heroine were ridiculous, she seemed more like a policewoman impersonator. Towards the end of the film in 5-6 minutes, the investigations became clear, and the unconvincing puzzle was completed. It was a shame about one hour and thirty six minutes of my time.
