Matthias Schoenaert’s muscular and brooding presence as an ex-soldier suffering post-traumatic stress syndrome is also a huge asset. He seems to fare a lot better in movies when speaking in his native tongue. The screenplay ekes out plenty of interesting detail in the unfolding of his relationship with Diane Kruger’s bored trophy wife, who he has been assigned to protect whilst her husband is away on shady business. The ending offers up a closing moment that for a second has you questioning what you are seeing. Special appreciation must be given to the music and sound design which play a big part in communicating Schoenaert’s medical condition. Expand
