    Without question, the best crime movie of the year--and one of the best movies of any sort now playing.

    Watch Jan Decleir's performance. He never goes for the easy effect, never pushes too hard, is a rock-solid occupant of his character.

    Both De Bouw and Decleir are superb.

    Dark, stark, disturbing, poignant movie, which was excellently acted, and has touches that haunt. It takes a no-holds barr approach, not really in that it gives us excessive violence (although there is violence here), but in the way it handles tough, disturbing issues.… Expand
