Critiques

A thrilling chase that is very reminiscent of The Fugitive.

Gilles Lellouche is dazzling in this breathtaking suspense.
20 minutes

Beneath these airs of a predictable thriller, Kompromat offers a good proposal for drama magnified by the meticulous direction of Jérôme Salle. Too bad that part of the film scuttles itself, swallowing with it interest and suspense.
Ecran Large

A thrilling thriller.
