Could teach many an American thriller a thing or two about sophisticated creepiness.

It ends up being more about stage blood and stupid plot tricks.

By movie's end, you'd swear you were on Hollywood Boulevard, with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon 11.

The most American French movie ever, it's like a Hollywood blockbuster that accidentally got made by smart people. And it's excellent.
