      william k Top-notch crime thriller with psychological depth, good cast and cinematography, but made in a more mainstream style unusual for its director. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Cheap looking, obvious but made watchable by Sutherland and my nostalgic, late-night ITV memories. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Minor Chabrol thriller that starts out as a policier and ends up as a family melodrama, with almost the entire second half consisting of a flashback to a troubled teen romance. Of interest mainly because of the director's foray into English, though he doesn't seem comfortable outside his native France and the dialogue often feels stilted and like a poor translation. There are two fine cameos from Donald Pleasance and David Hemmings, but overall this is far from essential. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It has two Donalds and whole bunch of blood relativing in it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I like the way the story unfolds, but it seems obvious who the killer is from the start. A mixture of good and atrocious performances. Some of the directing is ok, but the lighting is bad throughout, and there are some serious editing issues. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jesús Fernández Santos El Pais (Spain) The movie has a good start, but as it progresses and takes shape, it goes down an all too conventional road. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 8, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
