Absolutely amazing

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I watched this movie for Lambert Wilson ,who was perfectly cast as a blind killer ;in his very first scene,he steals the show from his listless co-star Gamblin.The screenplay ,as the precedent user wrote ,is ,except for the character of Wilson ,very derivative ;in the cast and credits ,the line "based on an idea by Luc Besson " did not bode well , to my eyes at least (it's one of his brilliant ideas which spawned the three dreadful "transporters").Apart from Wilson ,best performance comes from Raoul ,the dog ,as faithful as Milou (Snowy);on the minus side ,an unbearable scene when sonny's friend comes out with the worst post-May 68 clichés about the police.Wilson 's performance is perhaps worth a watch;but as far as he is concerned,you will be better off with "Des Hommes Et Des Dieux"

What a shame that this promising french thriller has been wiped out with such a pack of clichés. The borderline cop, we have seen a million times before and in a better convincing way - see UNE NUIT, for instance - who is in charge of an investigation around two horrible crimes; one very very disgusting. It appears that the prime suspect is a blind man - Wilson - whose character is very interesting all along this film. But, if you go to see it, you'll notice that this character, with his motives, has actually nothing to do with a serial killer who cut his victim to pieces. I don't understand at all. Anyways, Gamblin gives here his worst performance ever. Everything is spoiled with predictable actions and good feelings. Only for grandmas and sissies for dinners around the table. A great deception for me.Forget it.
