Not your usual "home invasion" film.It's above all an incredible sensorial experience.A great combo between drama & paranoid thriller.And don't expect a love story ala Bodyguard.Matthias Schoenaerts is phenomenal as usual.It's quite an intense performance.You're truly seeing things through the eyes of his emotionally damaged caracter.Diane Kruger is also solid but the movie truly belongs to King Matthias.The ending could have been slightly better but it doesn't take anything away from the quality of the film.A must see.

I found the film ambiguous and it irritated me even though I liked that it did not explain. Also Diane Kruger was neither here nor there for me. BUT Matthias was wonderful; he plays a damaged soldier, whose paranoia may or may not be real, with aplomb. His muscularity, as with several characters he's played before, belies his fragility, which we the audience can sense well. I liked the mood of the film.

In the midst of winter I found there was, within me, an invincible summer
