I was really curious about this film because I figured if the filmmakers wanted to unravel a mystery in just 72 minutes, the plot would have to be pretty tight. Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong. If the director had cut out all the scenes where the main trio is just walking or traveling from one place to another (and they do a lot of that), we could’ve ended up with a fun, fast-paced half-hour adventure for fans of the genre who don’t mind a bit of over-the-top storytelling. Instead, we get a story that's almost painfully naive, with a bizarre finale at sea and characters behaving oddly throughout. The shootout in a random French alley felt like it was thrown in just to ramp up the tension, but it didn’t really serve any purpose, even in the broader context of the film. Overall, it’s a bit of an oddball. / Lesson learned: before watching, brush up on the difference between a ketch and a sailing sloop.
