Reviewer jordan_bell is too cynic and does not seem to like or understand film noir. I agree with the 2 other reviewers that Depardieu in particular is impressive throughout the entire movie. Strong character, reminds sometimes of Inspecteur Maigret (as played by Jean Gabin), also always film-noir-ish. But Depardieu adds an emotional and uncertain (even endearing), doubting, dark edge to that. And most surrounding characters are doing well too if you ask me.
This is a character movie. You will want to revisit certain scenes because they have touched something in you.
