Reviews
"What you expect from a French hitman movie, in all the right ways."
Jay Seaver, eFilmCritic
“...achieves a kind of magnificence that few works can match. The storytelling is top notch. Told in a beautiful poetic style that very few other films can match. Purely French and extremely well made, it’s one of those movies you can’t help liking.”
Jeremy Knox, Film Threat
“A melancholic, contemplative noir … heart-rending... gripping…”
Al Kratina, The Gazette’s Cine File blog
“...a sedate character drama with some nice twists... ...intelligent... Splendidly acted... I left the cinema impressed.”
Ard Vijn, Twitchfilm
