This film has a Hollywoodesque quality that screams "Us Frenchies can make thrillers too!". I'm not saying that it's a bad flick: the actors are a pleasure to watch, particularly the absolutely stunning Sophie Marceau (and this is coming from a straight girl). However, the ending didn't come as a surprise: I never rewound the film in my head thinking "I should have seen it coming!", because I did see it coming. It's not that there are any hidden clues (and, as another viewer commented, if you think back, the protagonist's attitude seems rather incoherent), it's just that the least probable suspect is our guy. And the least probable guy is always the one. Which leads me to my final point: from the soundtrack to the unconvincing conclusion the same name comes to mind: Kaiser Sose. Yes, Anthony Zimmer tries very hard to be The Usual Suspects, without the craftiness (but with a foxy lady).
