This explosive action thriller, starring Eric Cantona, has a sting in its tail.
When Sophie Malaterre (Karine Vanasse Midnight in Paris, Pan Am) is introduced to SWITCH.COM by a new friend, she thinks the holiday-home swapping website will be the perfect way to liven up a dull summer. But soon after she arrives at her new apartment in Paris, she realises she made the biggest mistake of her life.
A murdered man is found in the guest bedroom, and when Detective Forgeat (Eric Cantona Looking for Eric, Elizabeth) takes Sophie in for questioning – she finds out she hasn t just swapped houses, she s switched identities.
In an attempt to prove her innocence, she goes on the run and it s up to Detective Forgeat to find Sophie before she too turns up dead. But things don t go to plan and, when the body count starts piling up, Forgeat finds himself getting in over his head and operating outside of the law in a bid to save Sophie and hunt down the real killer.

Briiiiiiliant film
Superb film. So unpredictable, I am that person always guessing the ending of films, a curse you could say, however this film keeps yo both guessing and full of suspense till the last 5 mins. It is in French however it isn’t a film with loads of Tallinn so it’s easy to follow and not too much subtitle reading!
ChrisB –
Great all round film.
What a smashing film. Nothing sloppy and Cantona can certainly still run.He looks good too.. Top marks all round. Soon forgot I was reading subtitles. When I’d finished watching it I thought about watching it again straight away! Really got lost in the story.
James Morton –
Excellent French thriller
Eric Cantona is the only ex footballer who can act – Vinnie Jones canรขยยt and he couldnรขยยt even play football!Anyway the French thriller about mistaken/swapped identity is very good and Cantona is great as the detective- my only gripe would be Anchor Bay who released the film in the wrong aspect ratio as it should be 2.35:1 therefore missing stuff on scenes on the left and right.
Filmbug –
A Bourne style french movie!.
This is a gem of a movie. It is a french movie with the style of ‘Bourne’ trilogy!. I Certainly recommend people to see this movie.

I am not a man, I am Cantona.
Excellent film with a dark twist. Eric Cantona is very good. Great French film which is better for us in French rather than dubbed with silly voices.
S A WILLIS –
Cantona can act!
Much better than expected

Five Stars

Well acted and directed…but very, very silly
Poor old Eric Cantona! Apparently lots of potential buyers have been put off this DVD because of the cover, but let me tell you this, Cantona actually puts in a nicely understated performance. He’s not the problem in this film though. It’s the utterly ludicrous script that spoils what could otherwise have been an excellent action thriller. On the plus points, the lead actress puts in a superb effort (although the film never explains why a struggling artist has the skills of a CIA agent), and most of the cast are good actors. There are also some very good action scenes, and a memorable foot chase through the suburbs of Paris.Apart from an excellent start, and an intriguing premise, the film quickly descends into a brainless chase movie, with some truly ridiculous scenes (the mother with the shotgun being one of the most stupid), and any number of coincidences unexplained. Worse than all that, though, is the motive of the killer, which is completely incredible. The ending will leave you scratching your head. I have no problem with the suspension of disbelief, but there has to be some credibility, otherwise you end up laughing, like I did. It’s a real shame, because the film is well directed, there is an excellent cast, included the much maligned Cantona, and with a credible script and screenplay, it could have (and should have) been a rock solid thriller. It is simply too far fetched for my tastes.

Ottimo thriller poliziesco con interpreti perfetti per i rispettivi ruoli, compreso Eric Cantona, pienamente a suo agio dietro davanti alla macchina da presa come lo era una volta sui campi di calcio. Frรยฉdรยฉric Schoendoerffer , regista di “Agents Secrets” con Vincent Cassel, dirige molto bene un giallo a tinte forti con belle dosi d’azione e molta suspance.
