The French thriller Mea Culpa is indeed a very, very stupid film.

Cavay pumps up the car chases and shootouts, and pumps down the plausibility; but it all moves along at such a lick it doesn't matter much.

Though unreservedly generic - particularly in the storytelling and the indistinctive narrative structure, Mea Culpa remains a picture that's easy to indulge yourself in.

I absolutely loved it. I was sceptical at first to watch it based on the review that I read but it's a must see. It's captivating and compelling and reviting. Mysterious and dramatic. I am glad I watched it. Mea Culpa is a must see.

It was good. Very extra and dramatic but still put together well.

All the bangs and flashes are in the right place, though virtually none of the characters are developed. It's an over-produced chase scene, but most thrillers are little more. Yet Cavayé is able to evoke the odd slice of emotion amongst all of the 'don't think too hard on this one' action. Simple plot? Yes. Well done? Yes. But 'Point Blank' was better.

Once the French made tight well scripted seductive policiers, alas it seem's no longer. Lazy cliched action film without wit or panache or tension.
