A good movie

Since I kept hearing some really good things about this flick, I was quite eager to check it out. To be honest, I have never been really impressed by Guillaume Canet's career as an actor and, so far, his biggest achievement is to have been married with Diana Kruger and then to be Marion Cotillard's boyfriend for already 7 years. Still, as a director, he definitely displayed some potential and I really have to check now his directing debut, 'Mon idole' (I have the damned thing already for at least 3 years on dvd so I really have no excuse). Anyway, coming back to our main feature, it was definitely a very well made thriller and the whole thing was really entertaining. It reminded me of Hichtock's work and 'Spoorloos', easily one of the best Dutch movies ever made but, to be honest, the story was a little too far-fetched for my taste. Indeed, when the revelations did start to come out, at least half of it didn't make much sense. Still, all the actors gave some really solid performances and Canet definitely managed to create a nice mood and, if you don't analyse the plot too much, it is definitely a nice watch. Anyway, to conclude, even though it wasn’t really a masterpiece, I still think it was pretty good and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
