A cutthroat corporate thriller by Assayas: A merciless struggle is going on in the porn market to gain control of a profitable 3D technology. Taking place in the cold world of international hotels, private jets, and luxury offices where money speaks, this action movie, in which the French director deconstructs Lara Croft-type films through an American gaze, is remarkable for its intricate plotline and impressive cinematography.
