Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

John Raymond Peterson If you saw this movie in a theatre then you'd have to agree, you get your money's worth. It's two hours long and precious little of it is wasted. It is categorized as a thriller, nothing else, and there's no arguing about that. The suspense builds deliberately from the beginning and it is not very predictable, just as a thriller ought to be.Yvan Attal is pretty much the same character he is in most of his movies, but that's not bad. Clovis Cornillac, who I was not familiar with, does a great job as the villain; he's despicable as can be. You know he's a villain from the beginning but the extent to which he'll go to appease the vengeful yearning of some thirty years is what makes the movie works for me. Attal's wife played by Minna Haapkylä was not the most convincing; perhaps the ambiguous mental state we presume she's in has something to do with it. That's probably the weak point of the picture. I don't understand the low rating; if the English dubbed version was sharing vote with the original French version, as I suspect, it may have something to do with that low rating. Olga Kurylenko, as Sofia, is worth alone, a point in rating for euro-aesthetics; perhaps not my finest argument, but just go along if you haven't seen the movie.

arsenick Mainly shot in "La Defense" area of the French capital city, which looks like US cities with its high towers, this movie has been written to be adapted in Hollywood. However, it is not a fake adaptation in French. Barbier did well as he focuses on the deeper feelings of the main 2 characters (may be a more independent movies' style)while opposing them in a face to face combat (just as any good blockbuster). It is a clever movie, very close to psycho-thrillers from Hollywood, starring Michael Douglas or Harisson ford, where the family of the looser-hero is threatened, his life beginning to become in jeopardy thanks to a cold manipulator who is his best nemesis. It is definitely not the same quality as Cape Fear, but contains some of its main elements. Actors Yvan Attal and Pierre Richard fit well the Douglas'suit of this movie, and Cornillac is a quite good Jeroen Krabbe French copy. Do not forget the other actors who perfectly play the "character" type whose purpose is to fulfill their mission, no more no less. Do not forget the pop corn!!

kosmasp You have to be clear that our main actor will do stupid things here. If you can accept that and won't start thinking, about his every move, as if it were the dumbest thing a person can do, than you could enjoy this movie, otherwise ...A friend of mine, who disliked this movie a lot, stated it clearer. If characters in a slasher movie act a certain way, you kind of expect them to do so. But in a thriller, you'd be excused to expect, that they'd think before they do something. Again it's not the case here. But apart from that, the actors play their roles great, the story is good enough and there still is tension (if you let your guard down, as said before). Enough said then ...

doctorrugger A short comment to express all the pleasure I've had watching this film. Actors are very good; specially Cornillac who gives a disquieting credibility to his character, but Attal is impressive too in the role of the "not so good" hero. Barbier enjoys to revivify all our inner terrors (dark, death, madness ...) and sets the end of his film in a particularly spooky place. I regret I haven't read the book of which the film is inspired but I am sure the quality of the scenario is no wonder. I am pleased to see that the French can venture in a genre that we leave generally to the American cinema. I hope this film will be received worldwide with all the success it deserves.
