Requiem pour une tueuse (2011) - film review

Jérôme Le Gris

Thriller

Summary

Lucrèce is a hired assassin who specialises in using poison. Her latest contract takes her into the heart of the Swiss Alps. Disguised as a singer, she must appear on stage in the Festival d’Ermeux so that she can get close to her intended target, the British baritone Alexander Child. The latter has recently acquired a distillery in Scotland and is the only obstacle to a strategic pipeline project. Child has just won a protracted legal battle against British Oil, and so the company has no other option than to kill him. To complicate matters, French counter-espionage has sent one of its most experienced agents, Rico, to the festival to unmask those who intend to kill Child...
