Movie Info
Franck Adrien (Albert Dupontel), a bank robber convicted of a heist and sentenced to six months in prison, shares a cell with seemingly weak Jean Louis Morel. But once Morel gets released from behind bars, Adrien learns that Morel is really a sadistic serial killer who now knows private details about Adrien's life. Adrien must break out of prison and catch Morel before he gets to Adrien's family...and before France's elite police detectives hunt Adrien down. (c) Cohen Media

All Critics (5) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (4)
A film that might, in America, star Jason Statham or even Steven Seagal.
Top CriticSweeping landscape shots and the reliable presence of Sergi López, here playing a scarred private investigator, can't distract from the clichés of a particularly dim-witted script.
There's perhaps a little too much running and chasing but the pace doesn't let up, the end is an authentic cliffhanger, and Alice Taglioni gives an attractive performance as a plainclothes cop.
A rough diamond con on the trail of a serial killer can't outrun this French thriller's weight of familiarity.
Fast and furious, but also dull and derivative.
