Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally, author Harlan Coben had optioned off his novel to Hollywood, with Director Michael Apted attached. During this time, Writer and Director Guillaume Canet, who had loved the novel, had been calling up Coben with his take on the novel. Coben was immediately impressed with Canet's passion for the story, and his vision, stating that Canet understood that the novel was a love story first, and a thriller second, which Hollywood never got. When the option with Hollywood fell through, Coben contacted Canet and decided to give him a chance.
- GoofsWhen Alexandre gets out of the water to go help Margot in the beginning, his attacker hits him twice with the bat. Towards the end, when they show this same attack from farther away his attacker hits him thrice.
Featured review
really interesting mystery
Pediatrician Alexandre Beck (François Cluzet) and his wife Margot (Marie-Josée Croze) are skinny-dipping at the lake late at night. Margot disappears while somebody knocks out Alex. The police considers him prime suspect. Eight years later, two male bodies are found near the lake and the police starts investigating him again. Alex receives mystery e-mails showing Margot alive and out in public. He starts wondering about the body that was presumed to be her years ago that was identified by her father. He tells his sister Anne and her partner Hélène Perkins (Kristin Scott Thomas) and they hire lawyer Elysabeth Feldman. Mysterious thugs kill their friend Charlotte and set him up.
It's a good Hitchcockian mystery. It's got intensity like running across the highway. It's nice that none of the main characters are idiots. It's a smartly written complicated case that is slowly revealed. The best of all is that I think it all works. The only drawback is my unfamiliarity with the French legal system. The cops seem to be very pushy and I would think any smart man would ask for a lawyer. It's a great engaging mystery from start to finish.
