this be the kind of movie which show the paucity of french cinema when it come to make thriller . the director desire to sound american be so glaring that you will not be fool a minute and unless you have not see a serial killer movie since peep tom . two male cop ( or one and a half and more like and a you will see ) and horrible murder and a plot more complicated than complex . charles berling be not lucky with the genre ( see the astoundlingly dumb linconnu de strasbourg a couple of year ago ) . the scene with his pregnant wife which be suppose to be a counterpart for the otherwise noir atmosphere of the rest of the plot be among the bad ever film . add a steamy love scene between them and a gory autopsy to get a pg 12 and thus to attract the huge adolescent audience . a violent and absurd conclusion and follow by a silent epilogue who could make a nice commercial for the côte dazur and it really the silence of the lame .
