Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

This small French thriller has somehow not been recognized for what it is: A superb romantic thriller with a ticking "clock" that will keep you on the edge of your couch or chair since it's long gone from whatever theatrical release it got in USA. It's as good as 95% of the studio "thrillers" released the past 10-20 years with big names attached. One becomes jaded with the excessive CGI and loud sound tracks and remakes we get fed every year. So when something original, not over the top but steeped in story and simplicity arrives...Well then count our lucky stars. It's a rare treat. Go find this gem (Neflix is streaming it) and see what film making is all about: writing, casting, production values and DIRECTING!

Edge of your seat entertainment and kudos to the actors, director and the team that brought this forward making it look so real. Well done. Plausible story of everyday life and it going about its business until it clashes with your life. Then, the real story begins. What would you do? Mr. minding his business, works hard and has a life and a future is pulled into a happenstance that not only threatens his life but that of his family. This is no super hero, martial arts expert or extra-ordinary person by just looking at him nor is it implied either. However, what comes out of this man who is thrust into a do or die situation makes us join him and join him we do. You may find yourself wanting get up and start running when he does. Edge of your seat at times, tense, gripping and a good story. A real scary moment, without revealing details is made known which is: What do you do when the police are corrupt and your word has to go against them? Another poignant point is having to watch a pregnant woman at risk and harm, who is so vulnerable enduring what no pregnant woman should. The viewers emotions are activated, captured and then taken hostage right along into the movie. The ending doesn't end when you think it will and then we are satisfied. Look for the grin on the mans face at the end. It says it all... along with a question he answered put to him by his wife. Well done! Ah, a entertainment delight. Eat if you want to while watching, but remember to chew your food. Definitely a snack movie too. Why is it that Hollywood cannot get this consistent with their work? Until they do, look to France and others do remind us

nice tight story...the acting was very very good all around.... again...movie is only 84 minutes short...wish it were longer.... literally one of the better thrillers i've watched in a long time.... the movie starts of fast and doesn't let go...full of taut suspense and action scene after scene... wish there were more suspense thrillers this well done out there as this is my favorite genre of movie.... what i really liked was that nothing was really over the top acting wise although the story itself might be a little far-fetched for some... but one wouldn't really mind as the movie itself is totally engrossing as too leave one almost breatheless... i also like the fact that the hero wasn't over the top and look like your everyday joe... if you get a chance don't miss out on this movie....definitely a well spent 84 minutes....

Bad guys kidnap a nurse's pregnant wife to force him to extricate their injured cohort from the hospital. This French thriller begins with a bang and does not let up until the final credits roll. It sounds like a winner but it's unbelievably stupid, providing further evidence that the French can make thrillers as inept as anything from Hollywood. The overly busy script gets sidetracked with a plot thread about competing police squads and rampant corruption within the force. It is so ridiculously far-fetched that it suggests that a police station is the least safe place to be for an innocent citizen. At least it is not dull and has a running time less than 90 minutes.
