i really enjoy the movie and i cant see why so many people do not . i find the direction amazing and and that combine with a great photography give people really creepy scene . ( i go to see it expect to be scar and and i leave with the amount of fear need in these film ) . though i must admit there be some scene i could do without i do not enjoy reno as much a i expect and but i do believe he make a good performance . the girl ( anne ) and the young cop really catch my attention and i be thrill to see them perform and especially the girl be perfect for the part . i do believe they make a very hasty end though and i want a big part of the movie to happen in instanbul . apart from that i believe it a very good movie the best part of it and have to be the atmosphere create and especially in the beginning when the movie end i have the same feeling i have with bone collector and takin life ( i adore both of them ) i really think the empire of the wolf have the standard to compete with these two great moviesthe political edge though make the latter stand out in my opinion . i also think that whoever enjoy this one will love vidocq and vice versasummary good pointsgreat movie and nice performance very good casting and excellent photography and amazing soundtrack and good thriller and beautiful locationseuropean cinema rock once again .
