Gostei do filme até perto do final. Fascinante, sedutor, intrigante, corrosivo e lascivo em certa medida (a actriz Louise Bourgoin é uma encantadora da camera de filmar). Ponto positivo para a fusão narrativa entre o mundo real e o mundo virtual. Pena o final ser insosso e desmanchar tudo o que se estava a erguer com o desnorte desta conclusão. Com outro final inteligente e arrebatador, teria sido um filme grandioso.

A rather impressive French film. The dream/nightmare sequence is awesome (and I'm a sucker for these). I might be biased but Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet and Melvil Poupaud rarely disappoint, and Louise Bourgoin was definitely more than eye candy.

Eclectic who done it borrowing from the 30s _Hardy Boys_, twin crime fighting teens book series, and brought up to date with a _Tron_ like computer gaming plot, and even throwing in a bit of James Dean and the game of automotive chicken for excitement and to relate it more closely to the teens out for kicks theme as these teens are into pot and making out beyond the Hardy boys wildest dreams.
