A police detective is investigating a murder. He thinks that an author did it because he wrote about it in his book and has a girlfriend who used to work in the brothel where the murder took place.
Boring. This was supposed to be a thriller, but staying awake through it without being bored to sleep is difficult. There were no thrills. Seriously, it was about 98% people talking, 1% driving and 1% sex. There were 2 good things about it. 1 was Charlotte Gainsbourg (of Nymphomaniac (2013) fame) and the other was the drab video style. It looked like it was all shot right before a rainstorm or before sunset. There were grey and gritty city scenes and one scene with a foggy road outside the city that I thought were amazing. Camera-work was wonderful, but writing was absolute trash. I rate this poor because that last sentence describes it perfectly. You really should not watch this unless you have more of a thing for Charlotte Gainsbourg than I do.
