A slow paced film, a simple plot and an unsatisfying ending for what is ultimately a 'seen it all before' revenge story. The ingredients for a film tailor made for me to hate.
But somehow it worked. Yes, there's not much to it, more atmosphere than story, but it gripped me throughout.
An indication of how much I'm enjoying a film is the first time I check how long is left. I didn't do that at all during Les Salauds.
It's terribly dark and downbeat, and don't imagine things will turn out how you might expect or want them to. But if you're OK with that, and have some patience, this is worth seeking out.
