    no surprises

    First, it is a manifesto, reminding one of dark sides of recent history of France.

    It is a policier full of clues , with not the most surprising end, correct crafted and nice acted.

    And , not more, except the performance of Philippe Laudenbach and the try of. Theo Frilet for decent portrait of a grandson fascinated by the father of his father, naif and dominated by the desire of revenge.

    Not exceptional but fair, with few unrealistic situations and not convincing pieces but far to be waste of time. Only, good use of old recipe.
