An unexpected end for a very good film noir
25 February 2007
This is the story of an ordinary young camerawoman who lives a boring life in Paris. She happens to meet a band of gangsters she becomes friend with and starts living their life between hold-ups, sex and money. Marie Gillain is very touching in that role where she managed to be thrilled by this exciting and dangerous life and at the same time not affected at all by the criminal nature of her acts. This movie could have just been another gangster story and this is exactly where you're being tricked into a totally different outcome. Very simple and even maybe a little bit silly, her role as a gangster is interesting and well played. The more you watch the more you start wondering why she is doing all that for and who she truly is. A stunning movie on a subject difficult to deal with if you don't want to be too cliché. A must see

Creep (I) (2004)
3/10
Not really what I expected
22 February 2007
I've seen the movie yesterday and was really disappointed! First there is no real suspense since you know the blond girl will be in danger sooner or later. The only reason I rated the movie as 3 is because I live in London and hey, you get to see some underground stations and cool tunnels! I'll say that's the only enjoyable part of that movie. Actors are not that awful, the script seems to be the problem here. I guess it could have been more interesting if you could at least be surprised at some point which is not the case here. At the end, not even anything on "why" which is kind of frustrating (especially after you've seen more than an hour...) So if you want to save you some time, don't watch it.
