Warning: Spoilers
i can't believe this movie is only rate just about 7. it should be around 9. i understand that no one has the same feeling towards anything. but this movie is definitely a must watch.

i read some reviews that acting was bad. really? do you see any American movies with this kind of acting level at all? i would say generally European actors and actresses are just way above. i thought acting was so flawless, i didn't feel like i was watching a movie. and all movies must be like this. you should not feel like you are watching a movie. it must becomes a real situation around you.

story is meant to be like this. it is like a montage of their everyday job. i can't believe so many people nagging about there is no cohesive story. really? then how do you watch any TV show? they are pretty much independent of other episodes. or anything else really...

and i really wish i could understand french better. i am sure that actual french script is much vulgar than the subtitles.

i particularly love the scene where they laugh their ass off when the girl told them that she was doing it to get her phone back. i actually laughed as they laughed. it shows you that they (CPU) deal this kind of ridiculous thing everyday. i never visited this kind of institution, but when i went to police station few times, i witnessed some crazy and ridiculous things like this. and i didn't stay there for hours. i am very sure CPU would actually get some absolutely crazy stuff everyday. they laughed because it is a laughing matter. that is what the movie is telling you. a minor girl should not do such thing just to get her phone back. OK? i also read that someone watched this movie with a social worker. and they hated this movie. i actually don't understand why. as mentioned above, when i went to police stations, i saw multiple officers doing things with a criminals or victims. i see that this movie the director tries to make the office a little more cheerful than it really is. i bet this kind of offices are actually dead serious and boring. but i don't get why this is such a far fetch from the reality. maybe the director wanted to depict the whole thing (office environment or whatever) as a different thing.

if you are a fan of "Gomorrah", then you will love this movie. i rate this movie as high as that movie. and in fact, both movies are based on true stories.

this is a movie. not a real documentary. OK? although it was based on a true story, nothing in this movie is real. so take it as a movie, not as a documentary. and even documentaries have some fake or false information. it is impossible to make anything 100% real, unless it is real. OK? LOVE this movie so much!!!
