 Revenge has been a long time coming...Vincent Mandel is a photographer caught up in an ugly divorce and fighting for custody of his children. His already troubled existence is blown apart by the appearance of a ghost from his past, Joseph Plender. Seductive, sympathetic, Plender is nonetheless utterly ruthless - a predator motivated by pure hatred of former classmate Vincent, and hungrey for vengeance. It seems that Vincent's only chance to escape is to enter his world... Accused of murder and pervertion, blackmailed by a lunatic - life's not going great for Vincent (Yvan Attal). People often blithely ask, “What’s the worst that could happen?” Well, in this case it’s being branded a pervert, accused of murder and being blackmailed by a lunatic, all the while trying to navigate a messy divorce. Welcome to Erc Barbier’s happy-go-lucky The Serpent. Based on the novel, Plender, by Ted ‘Get Carter’ Lewis, the story sees Yvan Attal’s Vincent as the victim whose life is torn asunder by extortionists. The appropriately serpentine plot throws some unexpected kinks, and Clovis Cornillac makes an engaging antagonist, infiltrating Vincent’s life. Ultimately, though, the scam falters in the final act, falling back on staid thriller conventions and culminating in a daft showdown. An appropriately serpentine plot makes for an engaging thriller. It’s a shame then that the final showdown is so daft.  Yvan Attal ... Vincent Clovis Cornillac ... Plender Pierre Richard ... Cendras Simon Abkarian ... Sam Minna Haapkylä ...
