Warning: Spoilers
This was very entertaining French thriller and, at 84 minutes, a good way to stay riveted to the screen for under an hour-and-a-half. I wish more movies were this short in length.

I didn't know the actors but it didn't matter. In fact it helped because I could focus entirely on the story. The had subtitles but it didn't matter; they didn't interfere with the viewing. They were short and to the point.

It got a little confusing at times as everyone seems to be a bad guy - crooks and cops - and this poor "Samuel Pierret" (Gilles Lellouche) has to be on his own for a good amount of time as he races through the city of Paris, dodging bullets and punches all while desperately trying to find his kidnapped - and very pregnant - wife.

Yeah, even though you knew things were going to turn out all right, it was still very suspenseful and almost every character in this story took his and her lumps in some fashion. I would definitely watch this movie again.
