"It will be tricky for audiences beyond France to connect to this true-crime thriller, which amounts to a waxworks re-creation of the Nice casino wars."

"This tale of wealth, passion and (possibly) murder, executed in a style that’s visually high gloss yet narratively muddy, comes across like an old-fashioned TV mini-series."
