Alex' (Francois Cluzet) wife Margot (Marie-Jos�e Crozet) wife has been murdered eight years ago, and Alex himself was knocked out when rushing to her rescue. For a while then, he was the prime suspect in the case, especially since some things didn't quite add up, but eventually, the murder was pinned to a serial killer. Now though the case is reopened since new evidence has been found, and suddenly Alex finds himself to be the prime suspect again, plus another killing is also pinned to him, and he finds himself on the run. Thing is, he also receives emails that would suggest Margot is still alive. The other thing is, he's on th erun not only from the police but also from a weird gang of thugs who apparently work for Gilbert Neuville (Jean Rochefort), the richest man of the region, and who are hell-bent on luring Margot out into the open.

There's only one cop, Captain Levkovich (Francois Berl�and), who believes Alex is innocent, but even he has no idea what's going on - so Alex has little alternative other than to turn to his criminal friend Bruno (Gilles Lellouche) for help, who even kills for Alex in one instant.

However, the more Alex tries to figure out what's going on and what has been going on since Margot's death, the more confusing the whole thing gets - until Margot's dad (Andr� Dussollier) tells him what had really happened all these years back: Margot found out that Neuville's son (Guillaume Canet) has raped a little girl, but when she confronts him with the fact, he brutally beats her up - so much so that she ultimately shoots him. Margot's dad, then a police officer, arrived shortly afterwards and helped her dispose of the body - thing is though that Neuville soon suspected Margot of killing his son, and thus hired to hitmen to get rid of her. But Margot's dad found out about that beforehands, paid the hitmen not to kill his little girl, then shot them, and put another dead girl in Margot's place to pose as her and had her flee to Spain. This all worked very well until the two dead hitmen were found and as a result, Margot came back ...

The police of course had Alex wired and taped the whole conversation (which is why Margot's dad officially claimed he shot Neuville's son), but before they can arrest him, Margot's dad shoots himself - which leaves the police with nothing to do but to arrest Neuville, who by the way also had Alex's dad (Philippe Canet) killed.

Alex in the end is reunited with Margot though ...

Very nice thriller that is confusing while it unfolds of course, throwing plottwist after plottwist at its audience, but it does make perfect sense in the end. Add to this a colourful cast and a couple of well-made but un-exaggerated action sequences, a decent pace that never becomes too breathless to obscure the plot and a directorial effort subtle enough to stay focussed throughout and you have got one good thriller.

Recommended.
