In the 2022 police thriller directed by Dominik Moll The night of the 12ththe focus is on French detectives pursuing vicious killers that can never be reached. The closer they approached him, the more he escaped, allowing them to turn around in a long and existing exploration year after year, none of them unscathed.

In that movie, the police are flawed humans, obviously chauvinist (there is only one woman on the team), but they are still good people. exist File 137a harsh and harsh examination of police brutality, the table has turned around, the police have become criminals, which makes us question the concept of policing in France among the French people of social unrest and class division. Moll's new thriller with the same laser cutting accuracy as previous work, but with more emphasis on the program, putting the audience in a disturbing place - between law and order, between law and order, good police and bad police, protesters, protesters, protesters and thugs - ask questions, no simple answers.

if The night of the 12thThis is based on Pauline Guéna's unforgettable book, with hints Twelve Zodiac Signs and Memories of murder In the case of a killer, File 137 Feel closer to certain plots electric wire. From the viewing point of the IGPN service official Stéphanie (Léa Drucker) (what the French call "La Police de Police", what we call the Ministry of the Interior) is that the film is full of procedural terms and does not skip the beat when it depicts many of the steps required to conduct a comprehensive investigation within the department. The tension sometimes fades over nearly two hours, but Moore and conventional co-author Giles Marchander turned what might be dry material into a provocative illustration of contemporary French law enforcement.

The two were inspired by real events in 2018, when the yellow vest protests led to violent street clashes in Paris and other major cities. Several protesters were injured, some of whom were critical of flashes fired by riot police or were sent to increasingly clumsy Quell demonstrations. At one point, President Emmanuel Macron even ordered the armored car to roll off the boulevard of Paris.

At the time, Moll's fictional account was set up, with its interviews, cell phone footage and occasional news broadcasts scattered. At the heart of its story is an event in which a young protester, Guillaume Girard (Côme Peronnet), was seriously injured by a flash fire near the Champs-elysées. Stéphanie's mission is to find the culprit, leading to her extensive interrogation, sometimes the same person, and collect all the visual evidence she can find.

Together with IGPN partners Benoît (Jonathan Turnbull) and Mathilde (Carole Delarue), she began to happen when she encountered several layers of resistance: Guillaume’s family, especially his outspoken mother Joëlle (Sandra Colombo) (Sandra Colombo), certainly never trusted them in advance and would not trust them now, thus making them almost forced to work with Steéphanie. Her dealings with Riot police and members of the BRI (the French equivalent of SWAT) were more complicated, and they encountered her rude problems until she finally compiled enough evidence to focus on the two suspects (Théo Costa-Marini and Théo Navarro Mussy), both of whom were fleeing Guillaume popped up the flash gun.

As a filmmaker, Moore seems to be like a detective, trying hard to follow the heroine’s every move, whether at work or finding her at home with her son (Solàn Machado Graner) and a stray cat (named Yoghurt!). The movie isn't always suspense, though Moore does raise the heat in the third act. But like any good investigation File 137 Tough questions bombard us: Is Stanfanie doing the right thing, or is she going beyond her boundaries when France seems to be on the verge of class war? What purpose does it come to police officers, especially members of the BRI - some of whom entered Batakland in a terrorist attack? Didn’t it inspire all this by setting the Paris Burning?

The film addresses these issues in a deep split context, in which case everyone seems to be a policeman or a hater. Stéphanie fell into the middle and found herself increasingly conflicting with her colleagues, and eventually, during a moving interrogation, the table turned around and her own biases were questioned by her superiors. Earlier, on her ex-husband (Stanislas Merhar) herself, who slammed her for chasing her colleagues, and she replied that if she didn't, "only the assholes would stay."

Excellent Drucker (Last summer,,,,, custody) As a woman, a fascinating manifestation of trying to make justice in a country that is struggling with political and social discontent. The rest of the cast, especially Turnbull, provides reliefs of the comics as Stéphanie's hard companion. On the one hand, the two visited the five-star Prince Dlars Hotel, with some windows overlooking the crime scene. When Benoît learned that the room was as expensive as his monthly salary, he stole a few bars of soap and took revenge. The police may have some power in France, but they are still working to achieve it.

The hotel sequence leads to one of the only suspense moments in an otherwise chatty film, during which Stéphanie follows a maid (Guslagie Malanda of Guslagie Malanda St. Omer) At home on the subway, I hope that the woman would have more than she allowed during the interrogation. Moore has been a visual director and he manages to keep us glued to our seats as the two play subtle cat and mouse games on public transport until Stepany finally turns her prey into prey. That scene and File 137 Overall, both women really want to do the right thing--the only they live in a world that is no longer right and wrong, but about who you stand on.
