Trivia

The licence plate of the BMW is the same as in "De zaak Alzheimer" (IAM-469) which was also directed by Erik Van Looy. It was meant as a joke, because you can read it as "I am for soixante-neuf".

User Reviews

Well written story worth watching.

Well, this is my first comment, and no other movie made me write one, although i've seen a lot, believe me.

Good story, maybe a little bit over the top, but then again, you go to the movies to be surprised. And i was surprised. Belgian movie making budgets aren't big so what's achieved here is top notch. Bart, well written and Eric well directed. Also , the actors are very well casted, especially Filip Peeters, gave a very good impression. The only part where i was a little part disappointed is the part played by Veerle Baetens. I thought it was the only part where the script failed in the sense that it dropped the pace of the movie a little bit.

Overall, very well done. So therefore, my com(ple)ments.
