Fine French thriller centered around the self-anointed "liberator" of a (literally) harried family man. Admittedly the movie is slow to the boiling point, and in truth never really rises above a simmer. Any impatience with it, however, would be a reflection more on Hollywood brainwashing than on filmmaker Dominik Moll's control of tension. It's true enough that he observes no regular schedule of thrills, fills no standard quota of them, and in any event favors the frisson over the electroshock. But all of that is just tangible evidence of fabled "French taste." With Sergi Lopez, Laurent Lucas, Mathilde Seigner, Sophie Guillemin. (2000) — Duncan Shepherd
