Review by searchanddestroy-1

This film suffers of a flat directing but is rather more than inspired concerning the acting and especially a solid script. It speaks of an undercover cop - Tahar Rahim - sent to a mission: infiltrate a group of anarchists, idealistic young men and women who seek a better society, and who fight against rich people who rule the country. It takes place in Paris, by the end of the 19th century. The Rahim character is outstanding and so ambivalent, no the real hero here. The characterization is powerful too. But, I repeat, the directing could have been far better.

I recommend it anyway.
