I've always thought of Romain Duris as the French Nicholas Cage. He always seems to play idiots. This is the third sci fi thriller that I've watched in the last two days on Rakuten TV. The first was I. T. with Pierce Brosnan which was okay but stretched credulity somewhat. The second was Elizabet Harvest which was rather good. The there was Dans la Brume or Hold Your Breath. I don't like Romain Duris but I thought it might be worth a look.
This is another example of a "let's take unnecessary risks" movie. Why do something in a sensible straightforward way when we can do it the risky way? Why save one oxygen mask to ensure that one parent stays alive when we can both go out into poisonous fog? It's so annoying. And running from a dangerous dog seems to be the wrong move. You're wasting oxygen. Stay put and swing the hammer at it.
For someone who everyone is relying on he's very reckless. And, of course, he always promises that he'll be back. Then he drives a scooter far too fast and tried to answer the phone in his pocket without stopping. What a plonker!
It just got a bit too silly at the end, so only 5/10. Loses points for Romain Duris being in it and for the highly unlikely ending. And the lack of any explanation for where the mysterious gas came from in the first place. I liked the music under the credits, though.
