A "review" said Gibraltar is a "thrill ride that goes higher and higher"?

I certainly didn't see the same movie.

Because if you want to see Gilles Lellouche playing as usual, in a made for TV movie, with no rythm, no dramatical intensity, and a rushed storytelling, you could be pleased by this film.

But if you want to see a riveting film filled with tension and a nice story progression then Gilbraltar isn't the one to watch.

It really feels like a bad TV film.

We're never really afraid for the main caracter, as we're supposed to be in this kind of film, and the story is evolving too fast, like there are missing parts in the script.

Something is not working unfortunately.

No thrill at all. But nice images of Gibraltar though.

On a superficial level it may lack the cliches that many have come to expect from the genre. But it has layers of subtlety and meaning that others lack. I'd give it a 10 just for the cinematography. Notice the play of colour and shadow as the protagonist descends into the dark world of treachery and moral compromise. This is a story of biblical profundity.

The story is a thrill ride that goes higher, higher, higher until the end. Is this story of informant and traficants true? Some things seems a bit unlikely but it could be for the film while the original story is true.
