This slack French crime movie comes from the end of Ventura's career. It has the best frog A feature production values, including name players and shooting on location in Berlin, but it is too studiofied and populated by too obviously glamorous women and colourful support players. Spot Bacri as a cop who brings his child on investigations, because he can't find a sitter.
The imbroglio - on road action with a sinister black van, a break in, the seduction of the concert musician sister and a chase that crashes The Wall - dissolves into a large scale black mail program.
Every one has done better but, even if he is gray and sagging, there's still a buzz to seeing Lino work through one of these. It's also a reminder of his collaboration with Pinoteau on the excellent LE GIFLE.
