05/04/2015 An odd and overly-brainy mess. Skip it. See more walter m @Harlequin68 12/28/2014 In "Tip Top," a confidential informant from Algeria has been murdered. Esther Lafarge(Isabelle Huppert) has been assigned the case. She chooses Sally Marinelli(Sandrine Kiberlain), who had been demoted to internal affairs for personal reasons, to be her assistant. Together, they investigate the case, starting by talking to the victim's wife Virginie(Karole Rochar). Robert Mendes(Francois Damiens) takes another angle, by recruiting Younes(Aymen Saidi) to be his new informant. "Tip Top" is an offbeat political mystery that is as interested in who the victim was as who the murderer is. In this immigrant milieu, reflected by rioting simultaneously occurring in Algeria, the movie is very much interested in identity. So, investigating are two women who are not so strange for their sexual fetishes but for other reasons. Sally might not have a personal identity of her own and has to copy others while Esther might just be a vampire. That being said, they still go out and do their job in the most professional way possible. See more 04/29/2014 Such a disappointment. A disjointed story, unfunny (for the most part) deadpan humor, and a colossal waste of talent. See more 03/22/2014 I have no idea what drove the director to mix some personal perversity demons and unfunny political anti-correctness into a ordinary cop story, even the execution is worse than a school drama. A waste of time See more 03/22/2014 Awful is not a strong enough word See more Read all reviews
