Monsieur Hire (1990)

- 3 1/2 Eberts

I hadn't heard of this but saw it on Netflix on Roger's list of his 4 Star movies, so I picked it up. Even though there didn't seem to be much going on in the movie, it was still fascinating to watch.
It was successful as a thriller, a mystery and a character study.
For most of the movie I had no idea what was going on, and when I thought that I had it figured out I couldn't have been more wrong. It reminded me in tone and style of another great French movie, Les diaboliques (1955).
Not for all tastes, this movie is a little bit out there.

For me, another good recommendation from Roger.
