Seeing Double: Celebrity Doppelgangers

Stopping a protean criminal who travels around the Mediterranean

A female journalist is contacted by an acquaintance of hers, a certain &quot;Didou&quot;. The man, who is the father of an old school chum, tells her that his family has disappeared. So far the gendarmerie hasn&#39;t done much searching. Didou, however, is convinced that his loved ones have become victims of a terrible crime. He can even name a likely suspect... &quot;Rencontre avec un tueur&quot; is a violent thriller (or even thriller/action) movie from France. Although I wouldn&#39;t call it a bad movie it isn&#39;t a triumph either. In my humble the screenplay needed further pruning, polishing and fine-tuning. As it stands, the screenplay feels like a draft rather than the final product. Moreover, &quot;Rencontre&quot; grows more &quot;tiré par les cheveux&quot; as it continues. Is this how journalists or gendarmes collect information, conduct an investigation and interact with their hierarchy ? Really ? Still, &quot;Rencontre&quot; has a number of clever surprises up its sleeve. It also features a memorably creepy villain, in the person of a protean fraudster who steals boats, businesses and lives. (A good performance by Arnaud Giovaninetti, here.) Far from lurking in the shadows, this criminal feels perfectly at ease in front of a bunch of cameras. Indeed, he is so plausible, eloquent and charming that he can manipulate public opinion and inject falsehoods into an official investigation. Give such a person more time and opportunity, and he may well morph into a local celebrity, a spokesman for a chamber of commerce, or even a politician. Not exactly a comforting thought...
