3/5

Assiduously controlled and impeccably played, this cunningly convoluted thriller keeps both the protagonist and the viewer guessing until the slickly cynical climax.

3/5

The ominous chill of the sound design and decent work from an impressive cast help to create an atmosphere that sucks the very oxygen from the cinema as the tension mounts.

4/5

At just 91 carefully constructed minutes, this taut thriller showcases a stunning lead performance from Cluzet and a gripping storyline that keeps you hooked until the final showdown.

3/5

Suspense drives the (violent at times) plot and ultimately all the loose ends are satisfyingly tied up.

2/5

The insularity and scaled-down political intrigue of Scribe limit its impact and is representative of a slightly misguided film trying too hard to be something it can't quite become.

excellent political thriller -- well filmed, directed and acted. The French have a special touch with this genre. Subtitles well done, too!
