A scheme, a topic very used during the late nineties and early twenties: immigration, extreme wing party, racism. It could have been a TV movie, perfect for a friday evening. In 2002, in France, it was more than in the news. It is also one of the last movies of Samy Naceri' career. This very same year, he played in NID DE GUEPES, LA MENTALE and this one. In this movie, he plays an Arab with a French forename, very strange but not so rare. Bernard Lecoq is exquisite as an extreme right wing party goon, he overshines in this role. It is not very convincing but entertaining, pleasant, agreeable, especially from a director not at all used to this kind of films. Best Samy Naceri's performance ever. And let's not forget Jean Marc Thibault, used to comedy roles, and who shows here an evil character, a facist party leader, with a terrifyng and terrific face, in a scene with Naceri, when they speak together around a kitchen table. An outstanding performance for Thibault, the highlight of this very good thriller.
