Running Time : 104 mins
Unemployed Canadian fashion designer Sophie Malaterre (Vanasse) hears about a website called switch.com, where people can trade homes for a holiday. She chooses a place in Paris opposite the Eiffel Tower and trades places with a woman named Benedicte Serteaux (Testa). Everything seems great until she wakes up the next morning to find the police breaking down her door and Serteaux’s dead boyfriend in the spare room.
This is an energetic and intriguing mystery, but it leaves a lot of questions unanswered. I’m still not sure how Serteaux managed to remove Sophie from the plane's manifest, why Serteaux's neighbours thought Sophie was her (they didn't look that much alike), and how crap is airline security that they didn’t notice a severed head in the hold? The reason behind the identity swap eventually makes sense, so that’s the main thing, but the inconsistencies to the story spoil what could have otherwise been a damn fine thriller.
