    Another "Seven" ripoff, but this one works, and it spooked me nonetheless. Gorgeous cinematography!

    Nice fancy, camera work, and fine performances, but so stupid and ridiculous that I felt like laughing if I wasn't so disappointed. There are many holes and random action sequences jut for the sake of action. A STUPID TWIST! Stupid idea with dumb character development, so many of the character points that they had added they just ignored.

    I was taken away by the beauty of the cinematography and the acting of Jean Reno (one of my favorites) and Cassel. Oh had the plot been AS beautiful... Oh to give Kassovitz a good storyline...what he would do with it! I'd love to see it. However, all in all, eminently watchable and MUCh better than half the crap out there now!

    Haven't seen a decent movie from the USA in a long time and I don't think I'm about to! We need more (euro) movies like this.

    Glossy, gruesome police drama.

    A confusing and not entirely believable ending clouds the issue, though, burying some fine performances and cinematography under an avalanche of gore and plot twists.

    For most of its running time, this lunatic euro-thriller is creepy, stylish and occasionally suspenseful.
