A former gendarme, dismissed from his job after a tragic accident, gets mixed in a dangerous conspiracy when his pregnant wife is kidnapped.

Appearing alongside him in the cast are Stéphane Caillard, Nassim Lyes, Zita Hanrot and Alexis Manenti.

[7] Elisabeth Vincentelli in The New York Times criticised the pacing of the film, describing a long flashback sequence that may be designed to provide "emotional weight, but it only creates belly fat".

[8] Dennis Harvey for Variety said it was "entertaining" and certainly "not dull", but became increasingly hard to take seriously, as the script veers between gritty thriller terrain to the kind of overscaled set-pieces more apt for James Bond".

Harvey felt that the different sections "failure to gel" is “exacerbated by an awkward story structure whose midsection is a long, two-part flashback".
