Very good and consistent French thriller on multinationals and states' dirty energy competition, Exploitation and impetialism in Africa, ethtnic conflicts and and political maneuvers, and how much lives worth in the eyes of the profit seekers. Quite well done.

Bellow the maps
Michael-Malloy2 December 2011
Warning: Spoilers
To understand what's really going' on with some geopolitical stakes mixed against the background of hostages (just a pretext) and new concurrence on the world stage of Uranium prospectors (the Chineses). Acting is OK, we like Laurent Lucas (Calvaire) and Emile Abossolo M'bo (Colonel Aboubacar) in the roles they have. The script is easily guessable but interesting at the same time. I think it's really close to what the "Françafrique" has to deal now with the new emergent powers in place. You 've been there for a long time, enough to weave links, not enough to learn from your own mistakes apparently. But we also know that another trust territory is not necessarily what Africa needs. Cope with someone you know or trust newcomers ? The choice is yours...
