Always keep your eyes on the road.

Carole Bouquet and Jean Pierre Darroussin star as Antoine and Helene, a married couple on the brink. Increasingly bitter about his wife\'s successes, Antoine drinks like a fish and they bicker constantly. The traffic is dense, the atmosphere is suffocating, and the radio announces that a deadly prisoner has escaped. It\'s the last straw for Helene, when Antoine stops for yet another whiskey. In a drunken haze, Antoine blunders through the desolate countryside, and picks up a menacing hitchhiker. While Hollywood thrillers are devoted to fast paced action, where we invariably identify with the good guy, Red Lights is less conventional and much slower paced. Jean Pierre Darroussin\'s performance as Antoine is extremely complex, but his character is so infuriating, it\'s hard to feel any sympathy for him. While Director, Cedric Kahn is clever at creating suspense, there are some disappointing plot twists that lack a clear resolution. In the end, Red Lights is an interesting observation of how one man responds to his fractured relationship.
