Our take
Drawn from the noir tradition and its fascination with performances of masculinity, Jacques Audiard’s ambitious debut explores moral quandaries with sardonic humor. Representing two generations of French stardom, Jean-Louis Trintignant and Mathieu Kassovitz make for an entertaining pair of misfits.
