popsys One of the best tense thrillers seen in a long time though be also prepared to witness the terribly sick side of the human mind so well depicted. The film is packed with superb action, chases, suspense and tension and yet never feeling over the top as the scenario painted is so very plausible. Albert Dupontel plays the role of the fugitive prisoner with such realism, one gets the impression one is watching a docu-drama.Where good many films content themselves with ensuring the viewer is left in a pleasant frame of mind as the story finally unfolds, this one has the courage to portray events more akin to reality, perhaps this may explain the film's low IMDb score and why even the critics may have found the movie hard to stomach?

artig I put this on for my husband to watch unfortunately there was nothing to say it was in French and subtitled. He had to give up as he couldn't keep up . Though he did say it looked good I decided to watch it on my I pad in bed ,and as I am used to subtitles ,it was no problem .thoroughly enjoyed it. The story line was good thought out , I don't believe for a minute it was filmed in U.S. As it says on location . far to French looking . Pretty violent ref prison scenes says a lot for the French prison service . I would certainly recommend watching it Will be curious to see what any proposed U.S. Remake will be like Also 10 lines is a bit much for reviews

kosmasp Is the "german" title for this movie. And while it isn't really a translation of the original title it does fit well. A very action packed thriller, that has a good setting, that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I'm almost certain they will make an US remake of it, as they tend to do with good french thrillers nowadays.Actually you could say though, that this is a remake of sorts of an US film. If you don't want to know what I mean or think this might be a spoiler for the other movie just don't read the last paragraph (that's the next one). I can only tell you that if you like thrillers, than you will love this. And now onto the comparison: I think it's a bit like the Fugitive. Which of course itself was a remake and inspired by other movies. The Tommy Lee Jones role gets played by a beautiful young french actress here though, but don't be fooled by her looks. She can be as tough as she needs to be!

ci_oragwu It is a pretty cool movie, one of those you would want to watch without having to think through it. This flick makes the transporter series look 'silly'.The story draws you in, but minimal critical analysis leaves a lot to be desired. The action sequences are interesting, but the protagonist never stops to catch a breadth literally. It may well pass for the fact that the unnecessary parts are diced away to make for an interesting 103mins of your time-but movies are supposed to be improved upon these kinds of errors have been seen in flicks in the past. All these said, I still think the characters-with particular reference to their personalities were well represented and I wish them better roles in the future.
