In his first long feature, Rudolph Mestdagh proves once again he has an eye for brilliant shots. However, the story, another Altman-Short cuts wannabe story, goes nowhere. Most of the characters are very superficial and too weird.

Some characters are obviously very cliché bad guys like in a bad French police movie ( for example Aimé and the pimp with the beard are very annoying ). Some very nice images of Brussels save the movie. Mestdagh should consider filming a good book for his next movie. Mestdagh certainly has talent as a filmmaker, but writing

good scripts is something else.
