I expected worse than this french thriller I already knew made in the American manner. I remember Fred Cavayé's previous feature - POUR ELLE - a fairly good acted, directed and edited movie, but with such a predictable storyline. With the (un)avoidable happy ending as I HATE. Cavayé is a gifted director who, I think, wastes his talent with so foreseeable topics. But I must admit that this film is far better than POUR ELLE, concerning the story, I mean. The rest is equal. We find here the scheme, again, of an ordinary couple - man and wife - trapped in a brutal and squeezy story. We can watch here a powerful action packed thriller, as we not often find in french features. I have to get back to NID DE GUÊPES to be so scratched at the seat...
A high speed crime flick with some unusual and surprising sequences. And I don't speak of the characters. Rochdy Zem as a gangster and Lanvin absolutely terrific as a renegade cop. I had never seen him like this before. Yes, you're stuck to your seat all long this wonderful film.
But, I repeat, that's such a shame that Cavayé style is too close to the US one, with those f...happy endings for sissy audiences.
