Reviews

“Depardieu rolls, grunts and gasps through an unnecessarily brutal neo-noir crime thriller, as it might have been popular in the eighties. Today the hustle and bustle of the bull pig with the golden heart seems rather embarrassing. Worst of all, however, is the roughly hacked story, which gets tangled up in increasingly implausible twists. Conclusion: extremely coarse and stale. "
