Simply excellent stuff. Everything is where it should be: it is full of action and suspense, the killer is depicted as a human being without the film becoming a melodrama, he is very good but still fallible. One problem though: the plots lacks a sens...(read more)e of Belgian-nes...( read more)
An interesting premise, and quite suspenseful for the first half. Sadly, this becomes less about Decleir's struggle with Alzheimer's, and more mundane to the point of evaporating into nothingness. I give it three stars for a great first half.

Interesting idea for a story and good execution of showing his condition. I felt the story ran long though especially over the part to get the baron... and in the end, the use of a tape of him making a threat over the phone seems like only circumstantial evidence in a murder case.

A gratifyingly slick and fast-moving Flemish thriller, directed by Erik Van Looy, with superb acting. full review
