So first off most reviews I read here are clearly misinformed or made by people who don't understand french.
This movie is based on what the french media called the heist of the century
or how a simple employee disappeared with 11.6 millions euros (approx $14Mil) without firing a shot
The beauty of this true story is that Tony Musulin who was chased by Interpol in more than 185 countries finally surrendered (they couldn't find him) and spent only 4 years in jail.
But 2.5 millions were never recovered.He was released in 2013.
So you will not be watching Ocean's Eleven or Lucky Logan here ... this is not a flashy action packed movie that tells a story written on a deck in Malibu. It's more like a documentary and psychological thriller.
What I really like about this movie is how the relationship between the characters are played, simple and sometimes chilling ... the way Muslin leave his wife shows what it takes and how real bad guys / psychopaths think in the real world. The movie emphasize the simplicity and dull reality of life no Hollywood balm.
Francois Cluzet is as usual fantastic.
If you like movies based on cold hard facts I would also recommend The adversary (L'adversaire) which is another too true to script real story.
