The Whistler

2010 · 88 min Comedy
4.9 / 10 · TMDB

Cannes, the French Riviera. Armand Teillard is happy with life; a busy store downtown, a delightful girlfriend, a magnificent record collection and lunch every day at Sofia and Martial's family restaurant with a perfect sea view. So when Sofia tells Armand that Zapetti, a property developer with mafia connections, is putting the squeeze on her to sell up, he is horrified. Armand is an easy-going guy, but when he gets mad... actually, Armand never gets mad. He leaves that to his twin brother, Maurice, The Whistler. When Maurice rides into town in his Aston Martin and designer suit, Zapetti, his mob and the corrupt local politicians are in trouble. But what if, behind the dyed hair and tinted contact lenses, Maurice and Armand are one and the same guy? Is Cannes big enough for the both of them?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a light comedic intrigue, relying on the classic 'double life' motif and Mediterranean charm. It explores the contrast between the placid Armand and his eccentric alter ego to craft a dynamic and amusing plot.

What lingers after the viewing is a sense of summer levity and the satisfying spectacle of an underdog outsmarting the corrupt through sheer theatrical wit. A perfect escape into a world where justice is served with style and a smile. — MovieFinder Editorial
