Anything for Her (2008)
I take an adventure into French cinema today for this crime thriller. Diane Kruger wrongly gets sent to jail for smashing her boss's head in with a fire extinguisher and her teacher husband spends three years planning a jail break to reunite the family.
There is not a huge amount more to the plot than a jail break but the film slowly burns along nicely before the tense action of the jail break it self starts. All round this is a well made effort, the characters are decently fleshed out, the acting and directing are both also good. The only improvement I suggest is that it would be better if it was a little more ambiguous as to whether the wife is innocent or guilty of the crime she is convicted of.
A good crime film and as with all decent foreign language films Hollywood has knocked out a remake but this version is definitely worth watching 4/5
