Yet another stylized "hitman with a sense of honor" movie, combined with the standard stylized "police procedural cat and mouse game" movie. It brings nothing new to the table, but it's done well enough, at least during the moments when it's not dripping with cliché. Might be a treat for fans of Michael Mann. They really didn't do enough with the Alzheimer's angle, but then again if they had it might have been a little too much like Memento.

This film is likened to Memento, but those who make the comparison have firstly, missed the point and secondly, missed the superb acting that surpasses everyone involved in Memento.

This movie was hyped up to the max in my home country (Belgium) but really: it's just a by-the-numbers thrillers, except this time the people speak Flemish. Decent, but nothing special.

Flawless. The story itself is rather straightforward and unoriginal, but the way it is brought to you is way beyond compare. Thumbs up for Jan Decleir and by extension the entire cast. A cinematographic flawless pearl, not only due to the acting performances but even more because of the way it is caught on tape.

Great Belgian movie with a well worked story and great characters. Worked fine and was even funny at times without being ridiculus. Great movie that everybody should see!

Like a noir directed by Tony Scott? Actually pretty tough.

Well plotted and engaging, but a little generic and very forgettable. The over-stylization got annoying at times too.
