The predictable this film manages to make you care and stay interested throughout. As it maintains an intensity as much as the main character seems to have who we never quite learned about when it comes to his past, but we are given enough to interpret.
It’s simmering mostly, but there are two scenes. The film truly lets loose with action, though low scenes are short and one quite torturous.
This is a movie more about characters and emotions. It’s actually quite plain and simple, It sticks to the point at under 90 minutes and gets started in no time.
In the beginning, you can feel the uncomfortable nature that eases up as the walls the main character does
As well, as you can see the symbolic relationships and placeholder that he becomes for the people around him, mostly female.
He has a rough, dangerous nature, but a gentle side, when it comes to them. That stays very simple and small scale.
The film is a revenge tale in the end as he takes revenge and in doing so sets up a situation where the victim of his revenge has people who need to take revenge for him especially when their first attempt goes awry
This is a well-acted hidden gem of a movie that while might be predictable in some aspects feels like an introduction, not necessarily to buy the story, but more through characters that you care about
It stays small scale but packs a lot of heart and you know it’s a French Film because every character seems to smoke.
