Consensus: This taut and snappy French prison break thriller may be suspiciously implausible, but is held together by two fine central performances.

This romance with a twist calls to mind the classy thrillers of the 70s.

This French thriller hurtles along with hardly a pause.

A taut, sexy, French thriller ­ as long as you¹re happy to accept the ludicrous premise.

An efficient, highly polished potboiler that rattles along without permitting the viewer any time to ponder the implausible plot.

There’s nothing exceptional about any of this but it is well made, decently acted (Kruger is clearly a star in the making) and rachets up the tension with some skill.

Cavayé’s film may not be the cleverest or most credible but it packs an effective punch.

There's much to enjoy in this admittedly generic thriller - a snappy set-up, strong central performance and a story which escalates from cosy domesticity to bullet-riddled mayhem.

Heavy-handed teases do very little for the overcooked melodrama.

The fundamental silliness and improbability of everything is an insuperable problem.

Anything For Her proves a competent candyfloss film, but with a suspicious aftertaste of Brussels sprout.

A striking thriller with a strong central performance from Gallic Robert Powell-alike Lindon.

Methodically detailing every stage of his daring plan, director Fred Cavayé serves up a taut tale that tantalisingly leaves the question of his incarcerated heroine’s innocence dangling.

Prepare to gnaw you knuckles to the bone with this nerve-shredding French thriller that poses the question: How far would you go for a loved one?

It proves to be a heady mix of romance and action ... something for both him and her.

French thriller Anything for Her has a livelier way with predictability.

The last half-hour is fraught with near-unbearable tension, as the writer-director Fred Cavaye runs the escape plot alongside the concerted efforts of les flics to foil it.

A brilliant French thriller that doesn't need to be changed in any way.

It never succeeds in suspending our disbelief long enough to buy into its preposterous premise.
