Police

This is not a crime film. Although it takes place in a police station and then inside a police vehicle taking an illegal immigrant back to the border.

The director tries to make her story modern by retelling the same scene three times, that is, from the point of view of our three protagonists, in a form that takes its time. They then asked them to invite a foreigner to the airport to be deported to a horrific sin where he risks death. Anne Fontaine makes the right choice not to have the foreigner speak French, and above all not to have him express himself, to focus on the moods of our three policemen and their dilemma: should they respect the procedure, or let him go, i.e. Escape, with the risks incurred for them, and for him, who is not neutral.

The film exposes the personal background of each of our police officers, as any video-on-demand series now does. This background is a little boring at times. As does the sentimental intrigue between some of them. But the actors are good and committed, and we believe in their dilemmas.

Solid Police Drama that Questions your morals and believes, well at least it does it with the leading characters. A trio of Police men and women have to do extra Hours to escort a supposably criminal to the Airport for Deportation. But the night doesnt go as planned.... Anne Fontaine directs this character Drama and explores the Souls of the three main protagonists. Showing their lives, how they believe in Things and how everything gets turned around. The acting is good. Omar Sy is the most prominent cast member and he does well, although he leaves the Spotlight for his female co-star Virginie Efira, who steals the Show and owns the movie with her great Performance. Also Gregory Gadebois delivers a very good Performance. Fontaine Chose the shakey camera element to tell her Story. In my opinion not 100% neccessairy because I think with a regular cinematography the film had made a better Impact. This decision was rather a bit distracting. STill a good Moral piece, and one of those films that Questions the audience: "What would you have done?"

You have a lot of suspens on this film... for nothing.

You wait for something happen with flayed and deep characters in the everyday routine desapointement.

Just a day in the life of 3 policemans with a conscience problem

Being or rather working for the police force is quite the hard work. It has a lot of responsiblities - it is not well paid. You are under constant criticism - and of course you have to deal with bad apples and that the general public perceives you a certain way because of them. The latter is not something that plays a role in this movie.

This is more a social drama/thriller that has to do with someone who may or may not be a criminal and since he is a foreigner (in France), has to be taken back to the country he came from. Actually not just a foreigner, but an illegal alien as the Americans like to say I believe.

There is more to him than meets the eye though - even if he himself is not able to express that. But before we delve into that part of the story we do spend some time with our two main protagonists, who have their own things going - no pun intended. But when they meet the immigrant ... well things happen.

Not action filled overall, but more edge of your seat kind of tension when you wait to see what happens next. Good acting and really well done with the script.

It would have been much better to have a longer first part than the too unlikely second part. Anyway excellent Gregory Gadebois.
