Safecracker Hugo Sartet (Roschdy Zem) escapes from two thugs and gets run over by a motorcycle. He is unconscious in the hospital where an assassin tries to kill him. He is saved by the quick reaction of nurse's aide Samuel Pierret (Gilles Lellouche). Police Commandant Fabre (Mireille Perrier) is given the case. Samuel is attacked at home and his very pregnant wife Nadia (Elena Anaya) is kidnapped. He is told to remove Hugo out of protective custody. The planned exchange goes wrong. He joins Hugo to take down corrupt Commandant Patrick Werner (Gérard Lanvin) and recover his wife.
It's an action-packed thriller. It's very tight and rather short at a little over eighty minutes. The caper inside the police station is thrilling. The story itself has a few holes but the quick pace of the movie doesn't allow them to linger. After the initial failed assassination, it seems easier for Werner to kill Sartet without needing to commit a kidnapping. The whole premise is a little convoluted. I'm also unsure of why Werner is keeping incriminating video of his crime instead of destroying it. The costume department needs to find different colors. Everybody is wearing black leather jackets and too many people look the same. The adrenaline-laced action never lets up and these minor flaws are papered over.
