Dos investigaciones criminales. En el mismo día, 300 kilómetros de distancia entre uno y otro, dos casos muy particulares asignados a dos policías. Fierre Niemans es un hombre con experiencia que tiene un instinto infalible para los casos criminales, pero que esconde grandes temores. Viaja a Guernon, una ciudad universitaria en los Alpes donde se ha llevado a cabo un violento asesinato. El joven, avispado y solitario Max Kerkerian, un antiguo ladrón de coches que entró en el cuerpo de policía debido a su amor por el peligro, está investigando un cementerio profanado en Sarzac durante la noche, en particular la tumba de un niño que desapareció hace 20 años. Pronto, las dos investigaciones se ven entrelazadas. Y los asesinatos aumentan... (Columbia TriStar)

Un clon francés de Seven (algunas escenas son robadas toma a toma), inmerso en una atmósfera decente, pero rematado con un final ridículo.

Awesome, and I regret putting this film off for so long. Crimson Rivers is a very intelligent, chilling and suspenseful thriller led by the excellent Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel. Those who like movies where the killer is only revealed at the end will not regret it. The resemblance to David Fincher's Se7en is almost palpable, but not offensive, instead competing strongly due to the very impressive treatment of the corpses. 80%

It's not bad... In my opinion, Mathieu Kassovitz has managed to very decently dilute the classic action style of decent American editing and the classic French conversational detective story, whilst also not feeling as primly funny as the director of the second film, Olivier Dahan, when trying to evoke a dark atmosphere. Jean Reno and his partner Vincent Cassel get enough space, and Vincent only disappointed me with one thing... he is not as sympathetic as his book counterpart. And that is actually the problem of The Crimson Rivers. Compared to the book, they don't have even half the tension and secrets, the trick with murders comes too soon, and the characters spew the entire deduction at us in confusion in the middle of a car chase. Well, a film is not a book, we all know that, but the adaptation to the script just has a lot of issues... and the "spectacular" and amateurish finale is proof of that. In the book, the awkwardness is somehow lost, but here it hits us over the head mainly thanks to the absolute overacting by Nadia Fares... If you haven’t read the book, you will like The Crimson Rivers a lot, and if you have, you will be somewhat disappointed. But formally, everything is completely fine.

Kassovitz successfully conveys the dark atmosphere, and Reno and Cassel are charismatic enough to pull the whole film off just fine. But there are some moments, or rather, entire scenes that are so blatantly ripped-off of Se7en that it’s almost embarrassing. The ending is also contrived and full of clichés. It’s a pity, without that it would have been a very good thriller.

A perfectly dark atmosphere that can only be maintained until the evidence starts to emerge. Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel are great on their own, but even the chase with the killer through the apartment really tests your nerves. And yet as it starts to incorporate all the mystery elements everything starts to creak and groain, and after the snowy finale you end up with a bitter taste in your mouth.
