Set in Montreal, based on an Ed McBain novel and featuring an international cast, this is every bit the mish-mash it sounds and a long way from Chabrol's considerable best. Stephane Audran is completely wasted and sounds as though she has been dubbed into English. McBain is noted for police procedurals, being an ex cop himself, but the plotting here is woeful. The acting is wooden as though the cast can't quite believe the script as written. Chabrol is usually good at adaptations, notably Ruth Rendell, but here he should have stayed on home turf as the blood relatives are, in fact, bloodless.
