The management apologizes for the inconvenience......, 1 October 2006
Author: dbdumonteil

....after a blind man's and his dog's death.As the person was a vicious man ,we will not shed a tear for him,but poor dog! What saves this movie (at least in its first hour) is its sense of (black) humor.Although it's sometimes a bit over the top (the nursery school scene is sheer bad taste:it would have taken John Waters to treat it successfully),there are plenty of funny scenes if you do not take them seriously:I particularly dig the "Bergman" lines.

Unfortunately,the last thirty minutes take us back to "the invincible super hero who single-handedly fights evil ".But he was a marine,we are told.

Some kind of remake of the director's "de lift" (early eighties)with a more comfortable budget.

It's pretty good entertainment but you'd better choose Dick Maas's "Amsterdamned" instead.
