Le passager

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

At the outset, this seemed like it might be a thoughtful psychological murder mystery, but it quickly degenerated into a fast-paced action film, with an assassination, SWAT team assault, shootout in a warehouse, or narrow escape in almost every scene. Lots of cliches--omniscient villains, a cop who won't give up despite being held back by her superiors, a genius forensic analyst in the lab. Alas, it all goes too far, and even a psychological thriller shouldn't have this many mental health clinics and disturbed people harboring deep secrets. It's really excessive. Anyone relying on this movie would think that the nation of France consists mainly of leafy retreats for the mentally enfeebled.

I don't regret watching, but perhaps it's just as well that there isn't a season 2.

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

Quite interesting but some really silly and unbelievable bits.

A relatively good thriller, the suspense was not killing me but I did stay on board and followed it thru. What exasperated me, to be franc, was the character of the lead female detective who is totally incoherent for a cop. I really thought portraying the lead woman as a really damaged, unstable woman did not make the story stronger. I found it hard to believe in a trained detective that would disregard her skills and get subdued by her emotions so that her investigation would always end up one step behind. I guess now I've been used to #nordicnoir where female characters are more interesting, complex and less "helpless that needs saving", I'm having a hard time watching and caring for female roles who fall back on the old stereotypes.
