Synopsis
Armed Hands (Mains armées, 2012) is a French crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Pierre Jolivet and starring Roschdy Zem and Leila Bekhti.
Police commissioner Lucas Skali and his daughter Maya are both cops and complete strangers to each other. A gang moving stolen NATO-issue weapons forces them onto the same investigation, with the trail running from the outskirts of Paris through a Serbian criminal network that knows how to stay covered. Lucas has no choice but to work alongside the daughter he lost contact with years ago.
Jolivet uses the procedural frame efficiently — the thriller mechanics are solid — but the film's weight comes from the silences between the two leads. It's a story about estrangement that uses crime as its language. Stream Armed Hands (2012) online on iFILM.
