    • Trivia
      There are two kinds of black boxes in modern planes: the FDR (Flight Data Recorder) which record instructions sent to the electronic systems on an aircraft and the CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder) which records all audio in the flight deck, i.e. ambient noises and pilot discussions. The movie focuses the whole time on the CVR.

    Correct thriller, in an unusual domain (airplanes black boxes)
    In the technological thriller genre, we have here a specialist in listening to the black boxes of airplanes who is invited to elucidate a plane crash. A specialist of the sound then. The film mixes this dramatic arc with the problems of an aircraft manufacturer and the issues of cybersecurity. It is well seen and it composes a whole with some good ideas, to keep the spectator in suspense, even if it is not difficult to guess some twists.

    The film invites some tension around the character of Pierre Niney, who does not have the profile of the action hero, and this is good, because the film does not play the card of action film, but that of suspense that rises gradually to culminate with the sequence of the navigation system that takes our main character on a lake. Beautiful sequence, intriguing, which is captivating and anti-technological precisely, which is a good idea.

    We may lack elements that surprise, because some twists, without being phoned, are not difficult to guess.
