Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel, as detectives, go way beyond normal police work in this action-packed, fantasy-filled, horrific crime film.

The story can be interesting for a long time, but the ending is a bit disappointing.

On the other hand, several impressive images of the French Alps, a fast camera, a bit of humor between our two heroes and more than enough spectacle.

Not a bad movie by any means, but I don't understand all the superlatives here after seeing this movie. I thought everything was a bit dull. The dissatisfaction with the ending surprised me. I don't see anything wrong with that. The car chase was nicely realistic and not as over the top as in many American productions. But otherwise not a film that you absolutely must see.

A French film can't get more American, Kassovitz has learned his lesson. On the other hand, it is atmospheric, especially when the super cop Niémans walks through a glacier. A gruesome murder case in the mountains sets the stage for an investigation that leads to the surroundings of a reputed campus. 200 km away, young cop Max investigates a child who died in an accident many years ago. Both things have something to do with each other.
Not the most subtle and genius thriller, with some unfortunate plot holes and coincidences such as the discovery of the second corpse and the twin twist . Reno does not impress as much as the emotionless gruff Niémans; it is mainly Cassel who keeps it all up to par. And yes, I follow most, the denouement is a very weak one
