A Woman In Danger - 2001 - 6/10
AKA - Une Femme Piégée

Hit n miss French thriller seems like a throwback to the 1980’s.
Florence, after spending the night bouncing the local stud, slinks home by morning.
Before she can concoct a plausible fairy tale for her husband, she scans the headlines.
Hey, isn’t that her lover who was murdered?

Wait a minute! He did not look like that. Hold on, wait! Oh no, the police!
So begins the footrace. Barefoot Florence with the dogged gendarmes in pursuit.
Stylistically, this resembles one of those erotic thrillers from the 1980’s.
Overuse of zooms to frowning closeups, music crescendos to punctuate a point.
Retro angle kept me watching, though this is far-fetched, cinema meatloaf.
