With a Friend Like Harry... Reviews

To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and it is basically one of those rather obscure French movies that almost no one has seen here on listal. I think I did see this one in the movie theater when it was released and I wonder how I ended up watching the damned thing. My guess is that I wanted to see it because it was really heralded by the critics when it was released. Anyway, eventually, even though the story was obviously rather far-fetched,  it turned out to be a really effective and entertaining thriller. Above all, what really worked for me in this movie was the really solid performance delivered by Sergi López. It is probably thanks to this movie that he eventually play the bad guy in ‘El laberinto del fauno’, probably his most high-profile international production. Eventually, I have to admit that I didn’t care much for the other characters (I still had a weak spot for Sophie Guillemin though) but Harry was so fascinating , it made the whole thing quite spellbinding to behold. To conclude, even though it might not be a masterpiece, I really liked it a lot and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
