Despite both the police and the Russian mob after his head, the brilliant criminal Anthony Zimmer always avoids capture, even resorting to plastic surgery to mask his identity. However, Detective Akerman (Sami Frey) plans to break the case by tracking Zimmer's mistress, Chiara Manzoni (Sophie Marceau), to finally find his man. Chiara -- aware that no one knows Zimmer's appearance -- leads the chase directly to François Taillandier (Yvan Attal), a man in the wrong place at the wrong time.

A bad movie that brings up the bad moment of the current thrillers. [Full Review in Spanish]

If there would be anything to complain about (apart from the rather silly ending), it would be that first-timer Salle makes the film fly by almost too fast.

Spannender Film mit einem klasse Ende. Ein Film auf den man sich einlassen muss, dazu gibt's sehr schöne Bilder.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Effective low-key thriller enhanced by short bursts of tensely gripping action. Greatly superior to the limp American remake " The Tourist ", make sure you see this one first to avoid the same anger I relived because the major surprise had already been spoiled. Even worse, that movie only survived by cheating with its characters' behavior, while "Anthony Zimmer" makes more logical sense while planting some shrewd clues. Admittedly that one features a ravishing Angelina Jolie, but an enticingly enigmatic Sophie Marceau doesn't get seated at the table by the kitchen door either.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It's an ok film, the story is quite interesting and taking at times but somehow the film lacks a little bit of something to make it fully credible. Still it's a nice effort.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Good scenario, good actors, good suspense. The American remake is rubish, as usually.
