"Cinq minutes de detente" has weaknesses in the acting and sometimes looks like it was shot with the lowest string budget ever but it carries a very interesting screenplay. It starts like a Hitchcock "wrong man" type of movie but the protagonist (played by a good Jose Garcia) isn't "wrong" very long. The idea is great and the screenwriter makes things evolve from bad to worse in a very skillfull way. "Cinq minutes de detente" deserves to be remade with more means.
