Lack of good storyline.

i must have seen a different film!!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

I found the plot a bit unrealistic. The main character does extreme things, but the reason for acting that way does not match what actually happened to her, unless you are crazy. The acting in the office environment was not the best either, talking about reports and files in a non-realistic way. However, although you can see what is going to happen early on, I found that I wanted to stick to the end to see how it all works out. There is a little bit of a twist at the very end as well, but because of many close-ups leading up to that, you sort of could see that coming too. The end is unsettling in a way, but I guess in the end the main character pays for her deeds as well. In the end the truth will come out. All in all, I thought it was engaging till the end. And that is also something to look for in a film.

Though ratings and views of this title are quite low on IMDb but as a fan of French thrillers I thought to give it a try and it lived up to my expectations. As usual another underrated and much ignored suspense thriller on IMDb. My intuition leads me to the fact that mostly suspense thrillers are rated by comedy lovers on IMDb which result in low ratings. Because of this quite good movies get ignored.Plot of this movie is very tricky. A simple situation is turned into complex one with the passage of time. I am quite satisfied with its pace and doesn't bored me at all.Acting from both leads is fantastically good. Both are well chosen for their respective roles and actresses also have done justice with it. Director is good as well.Baseline is that "Don't relay on ratings and see it yourself ". It will turned out to be 90 odds minutes spent well.

Alain Corneau wrote (with Nathalie Carter) and directed this little French thriller about the extremes to which people will go to maintain their goals - and the spatter of mess they leave behind on everyone who comes into contact with them. Despite a fine cast of actors this story is one in which the audience simply doesn't care about anyone involved. Bad things happen to bad people, and that concept is taken to extremes.Christine (Kristin Scott Thomas) is a wealthy corporate executive in Paris who makes international deals through her brainy cunning. Her protégé is the equally bright but less world-wise Isabelle (Ludivine Sagnier). At times it appears that Christine wants to be in a relationship with Isabelle but at the same time Christine has a lover Philippe (Patrick Mille) who works for her and who incidentally is also sleeping with Isabelle. Games are played; Christine takes credit for Isabelle's ideas in a manipulative way to gain a position in the US. Two tigers cannot in the same environment survive and Isabelle carefully plots the murder of Christine: we see Isabelle stabbing Christine to death. After the murder Isabelle, in an apparent drugged state, confesses to the murder and is sent to jail. But the story is far from over as Isabelle's brilliant and now criminal mind knows how to manipulate this predicament as well as Christine would have had the tables been turned.Despite the fact that both Kristin Scott Thomas and Ludivine Sagnier are both extraordinarily beautiful women and superb actors, neither is a character with whom we can empathize much less care. Yes the plot is a brilliant Hitchcock type story and the film, though it drags in many places, is very well made. But in the end we are left in an emotional vacuum. Where is the love of the title?

Having watched Sweet Karma earlier tonight, I don't know if I was in the mood for two revenge movies, but this is very different.A favorite of mine, Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient, Four Wedding and a Funeral) stars with another fave, Ludivine Sagnier (Swimming Pool, 8 Women). They are number one and two in a multinational's Paris location. Christine Thomas) is not above stealing the ideas of Isabelle (Sagnier) to get transferred to New York.This was director Alain Corneau's last film, and it has already been picked up for a remake by Brian DePalma coming out this year. It is rumored that Rachel McAdams (Sherlock Holmes, Red Eye) and Noomi Rapace (the original Lisbeth Salander) will star.After Christine threatens and humiliates Isabelle, she plots her revenge. Needless to say, it is an elaborate plot. I can't say anything more or it will spoil the film for you.It had me on the edge of my seat in the second half.
