Our take

Plunging into the treacherous weeds of investigative policing, acclaimed filmmaker Érick Zonka creates a crime drama of murkiest intrigue. Vincent Cassel excels as a detective who is feral with booze and bitterness, exuding an air of abjection that swathes the shadowy screen in jaundiced green.
