French thriller, based on a novel. Set in rural France, two detectives working two different cases come to find that their mysteries intersect. Jean Reno is a solemn, noireish detective sent from the city to investigate the ritual murder of the young head librarian at an isolated college; Vincent Cassel is a local, more action movie type detective, investigating the desecration of a child's tomb and a break-in at a Grammer school. This does a real good job pulling you in and maintaining an unsettling feeling, though frankly the ending gets kind of silly. Film does a pretty good job of blending styles, this is essentially two different movies which come together a little more then half way through. Solid, very watchable. ***
