This movie is one of the reasons why I signed up @ IMDb . This movie has stolen 90 minutes of my life and I want them back.
To prevent others to watch this movie I will now list a few points why I do not like this movie
First of all , it has a weak plot. There are thousand movies about female assassins but If you are shooting a movie about this topic , the screenplay should well implemented. But here's the reason why this could not work : the screenplay is awful! The story is very predictable and therefore boring, why did I watched it anyway? I don't know. Maybe I like the actor Tchéky Karyo ( Dobermann ) but he was the only who sticks out in this "movie".

Posing as a singer, Lucretia will have to appear on the scene of the higly exclusive Festival d'Ermeux and try to kill one of her partners: British bariton Alexander Child. Having recently acquired a Scottish distillery, he remains the only obstacle to a strategic pipeline project with considerable economic stakes; having recently won a tough legal battle against British Oil, their last resort is to eliminate him.

Not as bad as you are made to believe
I went to see this movie without knowing what to expect. Just knew actor Tcheky Karyo from several action movies and the series Missing.
I liked the acting in this overall, and Melanie Laurent was a nice surprise.
Perhaps some viewers find it a little slow at times, but it's a fine little thriller, and when you like thrillers (besides French there is also some English and even Dutch language in it) you will not be disappointed.
The scenery/setting is nice as well.
Maybe not a must see, but it's not a waste of time for sure.
For Dutch film fans, it's on Netflix.
