• A fine bit of Patrice Leconte fluff revolving around luck, sex and flying cutlery
  She: Suicidal, about to jump off a bridge. He: A carnival knife thrower. Would you like to be my target, he asks. Sounds like a match made in heaven.

• bit of quality cinema
  a great film, easy to watch with a good story content.
