Featured review
Non stop suspense
While the main character could have a used a bit more character development, once we know his goal and his different attempts the suspense becomes riveting.
Knowing quite well the events in France and Belgium of the past year I'd say that the film is a strong realistic representation of fanatism in a miniature setting.
