Okay.. If you have ever thought about trying to live someone else's life ...this film will make you think twice in regards to that. This review will be short, because I don't want to give away too much.

Now.. true this movie starts off a little slow,. In fact..I didn't know if I was going to make it. The film follows twenty-two year-old Sébastien , a Georgian immigrant living in France and working construction jobs to support his poor family. Sébastien works on the home of Godon, a feeble morphine -addict who is under police surveillance. After Godon dies of an overdose ,his widow informs Sébastien that she is unable to pay him. Sébastien then overhears the widow talking with one of Godon's friends, describing a mysterious "job" that Godon had lined up before his death. The destitute Sébastien steals an envelope containing the instructions for the job. The police begin following Sébastien as he uses the train ticket contained in the envelope. But they LOSE HIM....

And this is where this film takes a frightening turn to a very dangerous criminal underworld and what they do for "ENTERTAINMENT"...

And it's a LOO-LOO. This film is French.. My hubby doesn't watch to many foreign films cause he can't stand subtitles.. But he couldn't take his eyes off the screen with this one.

The one thing I do know..The subject matter of this film would NEVER be allowed to be made in America. We're a little to uptight for it.
