... View MoreWhile it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreThis low-budget, small film from the province of Quebec, Canada hit all the right buttons. There is intrigue, an underdog, sex and drug, and a multiple murder. A small-town cop outwitted the big-city cop in solving the murder case, and in the end also won the heart of a woman.It is a feel-good film, and has a happy ending. Acting is solid by all. Director Gabriel Pelletier adopted a low-key approach which is un-Hollywoodlike, so some people may find it a bit slow. There is not much action in the film as well but that's fine by me. Scenery at the location of filming is also visually pleasant. Judging by the number of reviews here, the film probably has not been promoted well and audience has been limited.I find the 2 hours well worth my time. The uplift at the end also helped to make my day. In French and with English subtitles.
... View MoreThis film could also be titled : When Culombo swaps his raincoat for a Sureté du Québec uniform. A taught well-knit yarn with rich characters. A classic whodunit that keeps us guessing all the while even though the evidence was out there for all to see. The characters are real and down to earth, very believable. The film also makes good use of the splendid scenery offered by the locale, the unique Iles de la Madeleine in Québec. A good, non-pretentious and entertaining film. If you have friends in law enforcement, I strongly recommend this film which showcases the work of a simple policeman dedicated to his profession with decency and integrity.
