Decent crime flick starring Daniel Auteuil, Nastassja Kinski and Ciaran Hinds. Daniel Auteuil now private investigator gets hired to find a missing boy. As he delves deeper into the case he goes down a spiral of hideous smut. Of course movie itself doesn't have nothing in common with real thing, but at least it's pleasant to watch. And sadly there is some truth to it. Lot of poor children are unhappy and are willing to find a new home. Ending is especially stupid, after main protagonist crack that ring, hoping that another one will not come up soon. But good cinematography, some tense scenes and good score by Goran Bregovic makes this movie worth your lousy time.
