Reviews
" While the criminal action is slow to develop and suffers from complex effects, the film convinced by the dissolved - ironic play the main character, whose tangled web of relationships is entertaining accents. "
" Originally from Czechoslovakia director Ivan Reitman [ ..] brings in his new film actually the trick to turn an entirely unangestaubte screwball comedy based on a proven recipe: He and She, the hiss at the beginning and at the end in the poor are. [ ..] This means that the audience does not get bored with this dazzling looking triangle, Reitman has all sorts mobilized: a thriller about a giant art fraud, art dealers who cheat an innocent - beautiful child to their heritage and not shy away from murder and manslaughter. And fires en masse. "
