Pretty well done flick

Despite the painfully outdated music at the beginning and end (who would ever think to put music like that in a thriller?), as well as an overly convoluted plot, it was still very entertaining.

Couple things I just rolled my eyes about.. who would tour france on A) those type of bikes, and B) wearing those clothes and shoes? But hey, they looked good anyway.

===SPOILER BELOW===

What the heck was up with the Paul character played by Sandor Elès??? Why the heck did he go so crazy if he was -not- in fact the killer? Did i miss something there or was it just a cheap plot device to fool the viewers?

I love the music at the beginning and end...and indeed throughout

Same here. The repeated upbeat theme music was so perfectly out of place.

You could read whatever you want from it.

I read that it was the free wheeling sexual freedom and social attitude that seems so carefree yet always contains a level of darkness and danger underneath.
