Disorder (El Protector)

Vincent is a man plagued with tension and director Alice Winocour’s slow increase of dread makes for an intriguing Hitchcockian set-up.

Disorder er en film, hvis menneskelige element baserer sig næsten udelukkende på den forsagte kemi mellem de to hovedroller. Den smukke rigmandshustru og den lidende krigsveteran.

’Disorder’ er en intim og psykologisk thriller, der med Alfred Hitchcocks brug af suspense og tvetydighed som forbillede tager sit udgangspunkt i en paranoid mands neurotiske konflikter.

...a slick genre exercise that's a bit short on substance.

...sustained suspense piece...

Kruger comes across as little more than a damsel in distress, while Vincent’s paranoiac tendencies are merely a device around which to build necessary thrills. It does manage to push lots of buttons, and it pushes them hard and fast.
