The main characters are well drawn and totally believable,excellent.
most characters are engaging there is pathos,comedy,growing pains.mild alcoholism,adultery and corruption all in all very well written and produced and a particularly good ending leaving the discerning viewer with a satisfied alls well result.
Over heavy intro, subject matter wise considering on balance the film was relatively easy going.
Not enough of Emmanuelle Beart in full character, her full on action scenes were all too few.
What I would describe as a slow burner, but very sensual throughout.
