What a delightful thrilling and so unusual crime flick. I did not expect such a good surprise; i only knew the overall topic, the pitch, but not in details. Absolutely awesome. As far as I know, that's the first film since Sidney Lumet's ANDERSON TAPES that shows us a story in such a way. But maybe I am wrong, I have perhaps missed some ones.
The tale of an anonymous hacker - whose we only see the face in the last seconds of the feature - succeeds in watching some people involved in a major bomb attempt in a big railway station. Our anonymous lead is a high rate, high tech professional in his field. A real "master of the world"; he has access to anything, anywhere and can watch the actions of anyone. So he tracks down the terrorists only through webcams and surveillance cameras all over Paris, even inside a police station or an embassy.
Of course, it is also a political film, that talks about the next presidential elections. And it is also a homage to George Orwell and his famous 1984, where everyone is watched by BIG BROTHER.
A real gem, don't miss it at any cost.
