Nothing to Hide   [trailer]
During a dinner party, seven friends decide to play a dangerous game. The attendees place their cell phones on the table and agree to make all texts, messages, and calls public in an attempt to prove that they have nothing to hide.
Despite the different international name, this is another adaptation of the Italian movie that's generally known as Perfect Strangers. By now there are more than twenty versions and counting, just like different stagings of a play. It's probably the most adapted movie of all time.
The best reason for country-specific versions is to use popular, local actors, it's also what attracted me to the French iteration.
As should be obvious to everyone, to take part in the game has a very hihgh chance of relationship and friendship suicide. But it's an interesting premise and makes for an entertaining film.
My memory is far from perfect, but this variation felt more confrontational, more dramatic right from the start. And it uses a somewhat different ending. Which is amusing, but it's the game and the revelations that are the most important and those are largely the same. Overall, another interesting variation.
