NOT WORTH YOUR TIME
Please understand. I don’t think One Day You’ll Understand is a bad film necessarily. It’s just that this is a website devoted to Trash Cinema, and One Day You’ll Understand has neither the energy or intent of the movies that I gravitate to. And it […]

The biggest strength of Un Flic is it’s willingness to take it’s time, to develop atmosphere and suspense, to dwell on procedural details.
