After pulling off a heist involving a significant amount of gold, "Rhino" (Stéphane Ferrara) and his crew need to disappear for a while until they can process their stolen goods. Their chosen refuge, however, turns out to be occupied by others as well. These include an unusual writer called “Bernier” (Marc Barbé), accompanied by his sophisticated partner “Luce” (Elina Löwensohn), plus a couple of easily provoked police officers. Soon, this quiet island transforms into a place filled with emotional and physical intensity; it almost begs for some Ennio Morricone music and an appearance from Eli Wallach. Perhaps that was my biggest problem with the film. While the visuals are stunning – the sea is brilliantly blue, and the house feels like its own little stronghold – it felt like a combination of countless films I’d seen before, and better ones at that. It's too brief to allow for any meaningful exploration of the characters, resulting in a somewhat detached feeling as the suspense builds and we discover who is most skilled with a weapon. There isn't much nuance either; from the beginning, it's aggressive and direct, lacking humor, and the performances and writing don’t do enough to set it apart or make you invested in whether anyone lives through it all. “Brute” (Bernie Bonvoisin) does provide some entertainment, but I was ultimately let down by the lack of originality and the film's blunt approach.
