French writer Jérôme Salle made his directing debut with this thriller. The girl friend of a brilliant criminal picks up an innocent man to replace him while the police and Russian mafia are chasing him in the south of France. Salle's script has plenty of twist and turns for couple of films. While it's not entirely credible on the story side, it's an intriguing thriller with a talented cast and idyllic locations with themes worthy of Hitchcock. Sophie Marceau and Yvan Attal star with the solid support of Sami Frey and Gilles Lellouche. The film was remade and retitled as "The Tourist" with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
