Audience Member A re-watch for me and I don't feel the trailer does this enough justice. For me it's a good gripping thriller, not completely original, but loved it all the same Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A very good Cat and Mouse thriller. A former class-mate from school, a cowardly wimp then, has now grown up into a cold, calculating, tough-guy hell bent on revenge for an incident back in those schooldays. A spell in the Foreign Legion has made him a sharp, ruthless killing machine when he needs to be. As the plot continues it is difficult to see if and where his weakness is. Maybe it needs the mouse to start hunting the cat. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a very pulpy, violent thriller based on an English novel of the 1970s, Plender by Ted Lewis (he wrote the novel upon which Get Carter is based fact fans). This is a not wholly convincing thriller that nevertheless has some terffic set pieces - an escape from a police station, a car crash with a body in the trunk and police coming - that elevate it above the standard. The lead actor, Yvan Attal has a very haggard, beleagured look, and the villain of the piece, Clovis Cornillac's Plender is suitably creepy. It is an entertaining two hours, but at the end of the movie not quite distinct enough to become truly memorable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A well made Hitchcockian noir thriller- tense and worthwhile watch. Both Attal and Clovis put in good performances. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Eric Barbier brings overtones of Hitchcock, Chabrol and Clouzot with this suspenseful 2006 thriller which displays itself as a fine example of a gripping man-on-the-run narrative, headlined with convincing performances from Yvan Attal and Clovis Cornillac as the victim and villain respectively. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member French revenge thriller....good story line but too much violence.
