Eddie isn’t the simplest of characters and Nicolas Duvauchelle did a terrific job portraying him. He’s not too smart and on top of that he doesn’t have a lot of money. So, when he gets beaten up by immigrants and one them stabs him with a screwdriver, it doesn’t occur to him that if he accuses one of them of the attack things can quickly turn against him. This heavy, psychological movie that is excellently made shows what can happen if a Muslim or another brown-skinned person beats you up and you almost die. Once again, a strongly anti-immigrant movie, which at the same time tries to be objective and not to show only one side of the issue. The French are good at this and I am not surprised at all that so many similar movies are made in their country. A very solid effort by the French, not only with a very psychological plot, but mainly with a brutal ending. And the French are masters at that.
