Synopsis: A young canadian woman decides to switch her appartment with one in Paris for some holidays. The next day when she wakes up she will realize her identidy has been stolen.
Review: The trailer for this movie is very attractive, and so is the baseline story which reminded me of Pour Elle for the wrongly accused woman, and of A Bout Portant for the police investigation. There are some good ideas in the movie and it is well done, but I found the dialogs and the action scenes too... French! For example the races on foot in the streets of Paris are made to be so breathless that sometimes they don't make sense (a little young woman outruns a police officer...). Also during some dialogs I was wondering if some actor was trying to convey emotions, or if he was just bad. Eric Cantona's acting is OK but he could have been better. There are also some holes in the story and some things inpossible to believe (is there really no other way to commit murder than through this incredible plot?). But if you forget those impressions, the movie is not bad.
Rating: 6 /10
