Review of La faille

"La Faille" begins with a cliched Kafkaesque setup (a man minding his own business is arrested for a non-specific crime by an all-powerful police state)....and then practically nothing happens for over an hour. At that point, a plot twist makes things interesting again, and the second half, while no great shakes, is certainly a big improvement on the first; besides, any movie that manages to make you believe Michel Piccoli as a badass fighter deserves credit! Filmed in Greece (where apparently every local speaks in perfect French). **1/2 out of 4.
