Description

April 1988, Ouvéa Island in the French colony of New Caledonia. 30 policemen are kidnapped by Kanak separatists. 300 French special-forces operatives are sent to restore order. Two men face off: Philippe Legorjus, captain of the GIGN, an elite counter-terrorism police unit, and Alphonse Dianou, the rebels' leader. They attempt to find a peaceful solution based on common values and dialogue. But, against the backdrop of presidential elections in France, the political stakes are high, and order is not necessarily a moral question. With this violent and troubling saga based on real-life events, Mathieu Kassovitz makes a powerful comeback in front of and behind the camera.

Idiot 'Reviewers'

'Reviewers' and I use that term loosely- such as Tafficus - are ridiculous- Yes its in French- Its set in French Caledonia-The actors and film makers have French names- the clues are all there to those who can read!

Blame your stupidity -Not - the film!

We all Need to watch this

I'll start by saying I am right wing. I never really thought much and accepted that as a general rule- "we don't negotiate with terrorists". This is a simple and powerful movie that regardless of whether you want your mind change or not, it forces you to examine what is right and wrong, and perhaps other ways to try to diffuse our very messy world today.

Betrayal

An absorbing insight into a shameful act of betrayal in the name of political expediency. Well acted, well made and unfortunately all too believable.

Excellent restrained portrayal of an historical event

told in a Brechtian style - engaging - a portrayal of the vanity of not only political power but the vanities and ambitions we encounter in our everyday workplaces; an example of how constrained we are by our the hierarchies around us.

You need to see this

This is fantastic piece of film art. A very interesting story that is not only about the action, but about the way things get spinner by the media before they get to the rest of us, to serve whatever interests they need it to.

Moving and beautifully filmed, a work of passion from the incredible Mathieu Kassovitz.

Best film I've seen this year - watch it, you won't regret it.
