Search - The Code

French filmmaker Manuel Boursinhac directs the action thriller La Mentale. Samuel Le Bihan plays Dris, a criminal who wants to go straight. Major mob boss Yanis (Samy Naceri) is an old friend who desperately needs Dris' help. However, Dris has already spent enough time in jail and only wants to settle down with his old girlfriend Lise (Marie Guillard). When Dris finally agrees to go along with the plan, he finds his little brother Mel (David Saracino) kidnapped by the villainous Fèche (Michel Duchaussoy). La Mentale received a theatrical release in France in 2002 before going straight-to-video in the rest of Europe. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
