Corneau has been good. But this! I don't know where to start. Sagnier and the main guy are really terrible actors (at least in this movie), KSC has been better, and the plot is predictable as hell (and this story rang a bell, deja vu?). The way people are described at work is ridiculous : (looks at a 10-page file for 4 seconds) "mmmmh... interesting!" Yeah, right. What a brain! I felt that the behavior, clothing, of these executive people were very caricatural. Music is good, Asian-influenced jazz, and used only at two key moments, which I found appropriate.
I don't know if it's because of the acting or the plot, but I never got into this film, which I even found involuntarily funny at least twice.
Don't waste your time on this. I'm sorry Corneau's last film ever was so bad.
