I absolutely loved this directors previous movie "Truands" and really enjoyed this one very much as well. It's however a very different cake he's baked this time. The frenetic unfolding of events in "Truands" makes place for a slow moving, basically simple story revealing itself. Most of the action mainly happening in one location interrupted with scenes of Carré's colleague (a great Sylvie Testud) doing her job, in this case looking for her partner.

It's all filmed with great confident style and the prime location is a gorgeous one that lends itself perfectly for the story, with it's cold modern design.

Gerard Lanvin is always solid and the three henchmen, in particular "Sascha" who is very eager to do what he does best, are good too. It's however the great Niels Arestrup who is again the showstopper. He is the French Anthony Hopkins with his empty stare and menacing yet sophisticated appearance.

Not as great in the tension department as "Truands" but still a highly enjoyable exercise in suave and style at which the French are so good. 7/10

"Frédéric Schoendoerffer" made with - 96 hours - a good little psychological thriller, which without making it the thriller of the year, nevertheless succeeded in a good little movie filled with good dialogue and especially enhanced by two faces of French cinema: "Niels Arestrup", devious ugly, facing "Gérard Lanvin" as a great cop, that we can really say that his two do not really disappoint and it is precisely this great face to face yet unprecedented of two actors in very great shape, they really push this thriller that will be easily seen. Of course, we can always find flaws in the scenario, but not in the interpretation. We will have a good time in the cinema.
