The previous reviewer makes a good summary of the film, but I can't imagine why no-one else has commented. This is a French film even for those who don't like foreign-language films. It's full of suspense, great visuals and a really cool soundtrack! It has often been criticised as superficial (in France it seems it is classed under "cinema du look" by snooty reviewers) sure, the visuals are great and the cast attractive but it has the story, the chases and the romance angle covered with skill and charm. The opening scene should be enough to draw anyone into this great film experience. There, now you've got to check it out to see if I'm right. If you're not convinced then I'm not chrisjtyler.

Got to say I agree with much of Wayne's comments on this film and the note that the director refused to be associated with the screened version doesn't surprise me. This film was shown on TV in the UK in 2004 and I have to say it has to be the worst quality film I have seen on the box. It seems to be made up of the film shot by the director covering the story, inter-cut with stock travelogue shots of Greece. The lighting is such that the black character's facial features are lost in a lot of scenes. The acting from the supporting cast is wooden and even the stars are on the verge of rabbit-in-headlights unease. Not a pleasant evening's viewing!
