watch this movie to the end be such a real torture for multiple reason that i have to share about my pain and frustration from this horrible experience . first and the story be so empty and dull and finally stupid that it could have be tell in 15 minute max . but much worst be the direct style that be terribly boring . it start nicely visually like for an advertising for any high end contemporary luxury product while a if it be the only intention of the director and to prove that he could do it nicely ( with ton of cash ) . but have to watch this commercial for more than 30 sec but a full hour and a half becomes very painful after just 15 minute . the directing be terribly bore with endless very useless slow camera move on cold architecture and useless move car and actor walk in or out for 20 sec or elevator elevate for a good 20 or 30 sec . what the hell . mixed with fistfight with no visual interest and a very dumb and not plausible shoot while run scene where one can not shoot another from 2 meter and and endless slow pace and useless scene that should have be cut out or not even be shoot to start with . very soon and it all appear very pretentious . because when they finally talk and foreigner might not hear it but the tone be often horribly false and especially with the german accent of the blond actress . her tone be so wrong . it become a torture like with very bad amateur karaoke singer . i do not understand how a director can not hear it when edit . like a musician without hears . dupontel who i usually always love despite very strange ( bad ) career choice have no line here and be only one color tint and make his character totally dull and boring after 20 minute . melanie thierry be not bad but a bit transparent here despite extraordinary facial feature . no character have any interesting point besides the villain just because he remain a bit mysterious but we will quickly discover that besides his strange eastern accent he have nothing more to deliver than pure brute stupid violence . sublime former french model estelle lefébure take an honorable chance to show some of her unknown acting talent and truly do not fall in many trap and delivers a much emotion a the script allow her to while maybe even a bit more . but of course there be not much to deliver from the script and to remember particularly to start with . overall i have to push 2x fast button many many ( too many ) time to not fall asleep for a third time . this movie can only be an excellent berceuse and something to go to sleep in 10 15 minute if you do not mind have to start over the next day to this where it go . and there be no spoil here in tell that it lead nowhere . good luck . pass your way . ps represent on this same scifi topic of memory manipulation and i just watch paycheck from p. k. dick and john woo and that be way much good even if really not good neither . mandchurian candidate seem to keep stay one good reference .
