When the French government discloses that a terrorist attack is imminent somewhere in their country, the secret service captain Nathalie (Anne Brochet) is assigned to carry out a counter-terrorism operation. She decides to infiltrate an unknown man in a mosque, but not a trained undercover agent. She goes to the prison in Dunkirk and selects the computer technician Léon (Maher Kamoun) to be trained and work for her. In return, he would be released in the end of his mission. Léon gets close to the Pakistani terrorist Bilal (Asil Raïs), a dangerous and skilled man trained by the French government many years ago, trying to discover his target. Meanwhile, the Pakistan government blackmails the French minister in the question of Cashmere, and Nathalie covers Léon against a betrayal.
"Nom de code: DP" is an excellent television movie, with a magnificent story full of twists. The beautiful Anne Brochet is stunning in the role of a lonely captain of the secret service that questions the decisions of her superiors and protects her agent. Maher Kamoun plays a family man loyal to his principles that accepts his assignment but lives in conflict with his attitudes; and Asil Raïs plays an idealist and insensitive terrorist also committed with his principles. Both actors are also fantastic. I regret only the corny conclusion, with the terrorist attack failing, totally unreasonable for the situation and withdrawing the credibility of an outstanding movie. It is also strange that Nathalie has family, since her character seems to be a loner and needy of affection woman. But in the end, this film is a jewel to be discovered by movie lovers. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Ataque Iminente" ("Imminent Attack")
