The movie starts off on a high note in an attempt to take a hold of viewer attention, which it does. The negative side to that is, keeping viewer in that state is a lot harder job. i think that's where this movie went wrong. It's too long!
I don't know whether it's to keep integrity of the story, or out of respect to the screenplay,but, the director took a little too much time to establish a character attributes. At the same time took a great detail in not to give out the main crucial point of the plot.The motive of Luc Seynaeve, and eventual involvement of others is a little too thin. More over through out the movie the character Marnix Laureys is shown as a Fool, an imbecile, one who have no regards for social norms. There was only one instance where he was shown, as a loving husband. That's when his wife leaves him!! That side of him is not believable to a normal viewer. It's just thrown into to the story to provide him with a reason for joining into the Luc's plan.
Apart from two or three leaky sub plots from the respective character's, and the run time, it's a decent enough movie. Worth While too some extent. Not one you will remember when you think of Best Mystery movies.
