Comedy of Power

By a customer from Ayrshire , 25 Oct 2010

Very poor plot, no characterisation and non-existent acting. If I hadn't read the synopsis I would have thought it was a film about Isabelle Huppert flirting half heartedly with a few men and smoking herself to death. The occasional shots of the 'bad people' were quite laughably cliched.

One of the characters attempts suicide, unnecessary, I was bored to death!

Not Claude Chabrol at his best, nor even slightly good.

Not one of Chabrol`s best but still a lot better than much of the rubbish cobbled together nowadays. Huppert is, as ever, always worth watching .

Not funny, not powerful...

By a customer from Sheffield , 06 May 2010

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

Female judge is half successful at tracking down corrupt officials by boring them to death at the expense of her marriage. Typical French film of quirky humour and plot with non-existent ending but without the quirky humour and plot. In fact virtually no plot at all. The action highlight was the heroin entering her flat to find death threats had been graffitied on the walls and her body guards flinging her to the floor before telling her 'it's all clear'....

Huppert showcases her skills

By a customer from London , 14 Jul 2009

Worth seeing, as many are, for Isabelle Huppert's outstanding performance. Here she plays a high-profile lawyer relentlessly pursuing corruption in public corporations. She is strong, ruthless, intelligent and also sexy. The plot is one of those low drama, high IQ constructions you can only imagine being funded in France.

Ambiton and power

By a customer from London, England , 12 Apr 2009

I loved this film with themes of ambition, double dealing and corruption at all levels of the political elite in France.
