Our take

Director Fred Cavayé’s adrenalized follow-up to Pour elle is a similarly in-your-face thriller, in which a reluctant working-class hero traverses a series of high-risk, high-speed situations. Expect car chases, kidnappings, and a lot of violence in this welcome French take on an enduring genre.
