Overall this is a mediocre offering at best. Clearly the low budget shows and the films has the feel of a Saturday night TV cop show for middle aged viewers. The story is not particularly original and it takes forever to get going. If you leave the room for 16 minutes you probably haven't missed anything. The directing is conventional which goes back to this film feeling like a TV show that's 30 minutes too long. Some reviewers rave about Poiret's performance. I find that strange because for me the is no consistency in the portrayal of the investigating officer. It's watchable but not a film that enriches your life.
