Samuel Pierret (Gilles Lellouche) is a nurse who saves the wrong guy -- a thief (Roschdy Zem) whose henchmen take Samuel's pregnant wife (Elena Anaya) hostage to force him to spring their boss from the hospital. A race through the subways and streets of Paris ensues, and the body count rises. Can Samuel evade the cops and the criminal underground and deliver his beloved to safety?
I know there are those who actually believe that 2011 has been a good year for movies. I can't agree with that -- nor it seems can most people. But there's always the chance that I've been forgetting something. With that in mind, I went over all the new films I've seen that impressed me enough to get the full five stars. This came up to five titles: The Illusionist, 13 Assassins, Incendies, Midnight in Paris and Point Blank. It's a point of debate as to whether The Illusionist can technically be counted as 2011, since it opened in limited release in 2010 -- and since I saw it in 2010. Incendies, on the other hand, counts, since it only opened enough to qualify for Oscar consideration in 2010. So I'll discount The Illusionist, but keep Incendies as a possible "Best of" contender.
It might seem obvious that the highest-rated films would be shoo-ins for a Ten Best list, which is what I'm ultimately aiming for. When I last addressed the state of film in 2011 quite a few things had not opened, but the only one I went five stars over was Point Blank. And that's a special kind of five stars, which is to say that the film is quite perfect for what it is, but it's not going to stick with me. I saw it twice and while I enjoyed it immensely both times, I don't feel Ten Best about it. I have to confess that the further away I get from Incendies, the less it stays with me, but it's still in the running. However, that leaves me with 13 Assassins and Midnight in Paris as certainties.
Dropping down to the four-and-a-half star titles, the results are a little brighter. I have 17 titles there. I'll knock it down to 16 personally, since I saw Mike Leigh's Another Year last year and was definitely considering it in 2010. The same is true of John Cameron Mitchell's Rabbit Hole, so that lowers the number to 15. Of those, the ones that are still in the running are Tom McCarthy's Win Win (rather a dark horse), Richard Ayoade's Submarine, John Michael McDonagh's The Guard and the freshly added GusVan Sant film, Restless (which I like more with each passing day). So with that in mind, I have six fairly heavy contenders -- with Win Win likely to go by the wayside by year's end, and Restless being too recently seen to trust in its longevity.
