Knowing by "P pressure," from Gallic desperado-switched-director Frank Henry, this can not change soon. A amazing roster of thesps, introduced by Isabelle Adjani and Eric Cantona, sleepwalk through this subpar crimer of a tough-as-nails policewoman who must unlawfully use a jailed heavy unwilling to cooperate with police around the major situation. Late-October title tanked in your town, but star-hungry Euro channels could still bite. It's all regulated controlled downhill carrying out a restless, tense and music-free opening, in which a Corsican criminal mastermind (Simon Abkarian) stages a anxiety attack by having an armored vehicle. Officer Damico (Adjani) can get carte blanche to collect his gang and calls on jailbird acquaintance Makarov (Cantona), who (initially) won't help. Setup is neat, lower to Damico's worries about her juvenile-delinquent boy (Pierre Stevenin, terrible), but since the plot evolves progressively absurd, the film proves incompetent at keeping any kind of emergency or tension. The ensemble, including distaff stars Anne Consigny and Linh-Serta Pham, seems more drowsy than world-weary, because the eighties-sounding score further slows lower the proceedings. Look is perfectly generic title means "By Pressure."Camera (color, HD), Jean-Pierre Sauvaire editor, France Duez music, Gast Waltzing, Frank Henry, Claude Salmieri, Marco Papazian production designer, Regine Constant costume designer, Uli Simon.
