    Most of the tension in this film is created by trying to keep the clichéd plot points fresh as they unravel and inevitably teeter on the edge of going over the top. It's all done pretty well and it looks good, as good as any Hollywood thriller. The set design is minimal and trés ...( read more)modern, the cinematography mostly dark with touches of yellow and gray filters, and the soundtrack nudges you along with obvious clues. The story is presented through flashbacks and multiple interrogations so one is easily lead astray only to learn there's another side to the story as another deep dark secret is revealed. As soon as you think it's ho-hum, another shoe drops. The screenwriter must live in a Loft with a very big closet. The goodness of the twist factor here is achieved more through quantity than quality. This is not only a whodunit but a whodunwhat.

    It's quite good as long as you don't think too much about the movie afterwards which you could find several plot-holes, but otherwise it's an enjoyable ride with each reveal til the end. Worth a look.

    Frankly, I'm angry at myself for not seeing this movie sooner...
    If I must compare this movie with an American movie, I'd chose Basic Instinct.
    It has it all... Great storyline, excellent acting, amazing directing, topcast...
    -- MUST SEE MOVIE !!! -- ;)

    Director Erik Van Looy and script writer Bart De Pauw have done the best job in their careers so far, if you ask me. This crime thriller is a great whodunnit. Exciting until the very end and with a twisted plot. Movie contains a lot of flash-backs.
    A recomme...( read more)ndation for the Dutch-speaking Flixster users but if you can find the DVD release with subtitles in 2009 do not hesitate to watch! It's a Flemish masterpiece.

    Prachtfilm ! Ondanks de hoge verwachtingen heeft de film me toch kunnen boeien van begin tot eind. Ware het niet dat de klank even uitviel 10 minuutjes voor het einde, ik zou geen enkele keer op mijn uurwerk hebben gekeken. Voor mij een film waarin alles goed zat : het scenari...( read more)o, de regie (Van Looy is en blijft onze beste regisseur ooit), de art design, het camerawerk, de kostumering en, niet te vergeten, de acteerprestaties. Bruno Vanden Broecke was voor mij een overtuigende "loser". Ik heb er dan ook geen enkele keer Sammy Tanghe in gezien. Koen De Graeve en Matthias Schoenaerts schitterenda als enerzijds (halve) alcoholicus en anderzijds drugsverslaafde. En dan de hoofdrollen. OK, Koen De Bouw wordt meestal wel gecast in die typische rollen, maar hij doet het wel schitterend. En Filip Peeters is en blijft voor mij grote klasse. Ook nu weer bevestigt hij dat hij een van de grootste Vlaamse acteurs van zijn generatie is. Bij de vrouwen vielen vooral Ann Miller en Veerle Baetens op. Hele sterke film. Echt genoten gisteren ! Klasse, Erik en Bart !!!
