It's senatorial election night, and thus a key date for Peter (Matt
Passmore) and Claire (Bigitte Millar) - but not because they're into
politics at all, but because they're professional burglars and are to
ransack the home of a prominent senator on the brink of re-election. Thing
is, the two of them know the place of the senator way too well for that to
not being an inside job, and while Peter's hard at work on the senator's
safe, Claire goes through the senator's things to find out his marriage
might be in shambles, and his wife (Agnès Gody) might actually cost him
his re-election. And with her taking a bath upstairs, doesn't she make way
too easy a target for the burglars? For the first half or so,
this plays like a conventional if very well made heist thriller, something
that genre fans are certain to like because of its focus on suspense and
atmosphere. And then, with the revelation of the wife taking a bath
upstairs, the story gets twisted more and more, leading to a resolution
that's as unexpected (and nevertheless plausible) as they come - while
director Sheikhalishahi never loosens the tension one bit. And of course,
slick camerawork and a strong cast also help in making this something
really good.
