This is one of director Claude Chabrol's final film projects. It stars Isabel Huppert as a dogged French magistrate investigating corporate corruption. Through the course of the film, despite threats and pressure from her superior, she keeps pushing and pushing and pushing-- barely sleeping, neglecting her husband and doing nothing but work on this complex case of corruption. As for the baddies, they keep thinking that she can't be THAT determined...but she certainly is.
I really thought this was a fascinating topic and the film was well made. So why did I only give it a 6? Well, the film just ended...very abruptly and with no real resolution. It felt like a HUGE disappointment and left me feeling confused and unfulfilled. It's a shame as Huppert was excellent and the film really kept my attention...
