I was not surprised by this film. I expected that. No more no less. I love french political thrillers; better than American ones, which are always politically correct, with bad guys vs goods guys scheme, good happy endings, and useless love stories between lead characters.
It's very difficult to summarize such a movie. Nearly every body is crooked, corrupted, fierce and ruthless. No warmth between them, except some no said friendship. I could describe that as a sort of a hank of stories, where every one wants to get rid of another. It's very well described, edited and acted. Frémont is terrific as a ruthless hired killer. The female cop - an Arab - gives also here a powerful performance.
Action sequences are brutal, bloody, very percussive, and talkative ones useful for a good understanding of this captivating tale.
As SECRET DEFENSE, I commented last year, it shows how politicians are rotten and ordinary people expendable.
A little masterpiece. A real gem.
