Lili F 06/22/2024 Hard to watch, when they prep the kids, or the hotel room scene. A slap in the face of a part of society we wish to not think about See more 01/29/2012 "8MM," with a plot so similar, came out the same year, but this film is more interesting and believable and less dark. Daniel Auteuil gives a commanding performance. See more 09/04/2011 An iInteresting and well told little tale. The story is intriguing and the main selling point of the film. Following Xavier on his journey as he tracks down the lost son of the title is genuinely gripping. The subject of child abuse is always a difficult one to tackle but they do a pretty good job here. Where the film falls down is in the characters who for the most part are cliched and dull, requiring the cast to really sell themselves. Luckily, with the likes of Auteuil, Kinski and Hinds on hand, they can pull that off most of the time. Overall, this is a thougtful and engaging tale..... See more 12/12/2010 Not a bad effort and tackling a strong subject within a mainstream framework. Some of the characters don't always feel genuine, but this is not too detrimental to the film. See more 12/01/2010 Pulsating thriller exploring some quite dark territory. Daniel Auteuil is great in everything I have seen him in. See more 06/05/2010 This is a taut well-told story with a very good cast. The story is dark-themed, fast moving, with more than a few twists, and a good deal of violence. Daniel Auteuil is excellent as a transplanted (to London) French detective who is very much in the mold of Sam Spade. His character is world weary, more than a little corrupt, tougher than he looks, and fearless in pursuit once he is committed to tracking down an evil-doer. The supporting cast also does a fine job, especially Ciaran Hinds as the old friend who involves the detective in the case. Highly recommended to all thriller or mystery fans.
