A good movie

Basically, it is once again one of those really obscure French movies which almost no one has seen here on Listal. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but I was eventually positively surprised. Indeed, it is a rather straightforward police feature but I liked the tone which was pretty dark and realistic. Above all, the main attraction was to see Alain Chabat and Patrick Timsit both playing against type. Indeed, in France, they are both pretty famous but not with such serious material, no, they are actually some major comic actors but they did a really good job here, they were really convincing and they had a pretty good chemistry. To be honest, before watching this flick, I had no idea that ‘cousin’ meant snitch in French (as you may not know, French is my native language…), anyway, you learn new things every day. So, the story is above all about this police officer and his informer and while it was believable and interesting, it was still a little bit limited and predictable preventing the whole thing from becoming really exceptional. Still, all in all, I really enjoyed this flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
