    Disturbing
    The kind of film I crave for but only from time to time; not always. A weird, bizarre movie, not destined for all audiences. A definitely anti war feature, with awesome settings of Canada and some French actors, as Romain Duris in a very rare role for him: a disgusting, nasty villain, some kind of torturer. Actually, the middle of the movie is, for me, the most interesting part of the whole. Not the beginning nor the end. Unusual scheme of our lead meeting a very beautiful lady who happens to be herself a torturer, but not a hysterical torturer, no, on the contrary, a very "cool" torturer, which shows her in a more terrific way. It's such a shame that the ending doesn't please me, not my taste at all. A film that deserves to be seen. Definitely.
