i met the director....thief
i went to florida state university and they played the film and did a Q&A session with the director jacques audiard. he was a cool dude and surprisingly spoke english fairly well. he did mention the controversy surrounding this film. apparently, the film is a complete rip off of (he gave no credit to...) the film "fingers" starring harvey keitel. as much as i liked audiard...after watching "fingers" i realized that he had indeed stolen the entire premise of the other film...i do like this better than "fingers" though. the lead actor is better than keitel.
