The higher the platform, the harder the fall. What can I say? As we were leaving the theatre a man sitting in front of us shook his head and said, "All that for WHAT?!" A lot of plot development that led nowhere, unnecessary red herrings, completely unbelievable dialogue (especially in interrogation scenes), and entirely unlikeable main character (although his acting was, admittedly, terrific). Watching a movie where a character gets drunker and drunker then proceeds to risk other peoples' lives by insisting on driving made me so angry I had trouble focusing on the weak plot. I wasn't the only one who disliked the film, as the entire crowd leaving the art-house theatre in West LA were grumbling about what a waste of time and money this was. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO FRENCH CINEMA?
