Re: Les rivières pourpres [The Crimson Rivers]
B+
One of the best serial killer flicks I have ever seen this is a haunting, disturbing and dark film. It certainly borrows some stuff from other films and its atmosphere could very well be just stolen from Se7en, but the director can still create his own dark vision. Jean Reno and Vincent Cssel make upfor a great team in here and the movie is superb on every technical level. The resolution at the end might disappoint the viewer, though...
