I am usually pretty downbeat when it comes to the quality of French movies, but this one took me by surprise in a very pleasant way.
The problem with movies I love is that I can't find much to say about them. The story is great, the actors are great, I suppose the direction is great too since I was so immersed in the story that I didn't notice anything about it, and the ending was quite moving as well.
It's a gritty police movie with realistic dialogues, a well-paced and intriguing storyline and a good balance of action and emotion.
Big props to Marc Lavoine who is fantastic as the rotten policeman Julien Bass; I must say I didn't know he could act that well.
Heartily recommended.
