This is not what i expected. I thought this was gonna be a crime/thriller movie or something like that. Turns out it is a dark comedy. A deconstruction of crime/noir films, a parody. I liked it a lot. There were a few hilarious scenes but it's not a laughing out loud movie, humor is more dry and subtle. It never became exciting but it was enjoyable all the way. Probably it should have been 10-ish minutes shorter, truth is, it kinda lost steam during the last 40 minutes. But still, it was easy to watch. Serrault was amusing, Adjani was a delight (Ok, a bit of a deadly delight). Don't look for plausibility though, characters were cartoonish and overall it is not a realistic movie. Just go with it and you will probably like it.
Ending was good. There is a minor twist i didn't see it coming which made it more meaningful. Still this is not a great movie, more of an oddity i'd say.
I've watched the 120 minutes version.
