Someone's cutting up the faculty at an Alpine university, and at first it's diverting to watch rival detectives Reno and Cassel try to piece together the puzzle. But pretty soon, French director Mathieu Kassovitz's aggressive stab at a Hollywood-style psycho-thriller reveals itself as just another genre hack job. The murky plot drops just enough grisly clues to keep you perversely curious, then hits you with a denouement so confusing that you're momentarily distracted from how dopey it is. At least the mountain scenery's nice.
