The thriller side takes a back seat to the detective's private life; the screenplay is muddled ,involving the murder of young Congolese , the rapport with his determined sister : fascinating rituals ,old demons ,and old rancours (even if it's not mentioned ,Congo was formerly a Belgian colony.)
But what matters is the atmosphere , the trouble depiction of the dregs of society .
Eventually the reason why you should watch it is his principal: Jeremie Renier is my favorite contemporary actor , this kind of thespian who carries a movie on his shoulders (see Ozon and the Dardennes bro) ;in some of his scenes he's simply prodigious ,notably when he visits his father in the home for retired people (gripping short scene when the dad, escaped from it, tells his son not to forget his schoolbag ) and in the harrowing final scene with his son when he 's lost control ; an unexpected pregnancy generally makes the father proud .And He had said :"with painful labor you will give birth to children".
