The New Protocol

"The New Protocol" (Le Nouveau protocole, 2008) is a French thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Thomas Vincent. Raoul Kraft, a forest ranger, is informed that his 18-year-old son died in a road accident. The paperwork is clean.

Then a woman named Diana arrives from Paris: her husband is dead too, and both men had taken part in the same pharmaceutical drug trial. Clovis Cornillac plays Kraft as a man who starts by doubting everything, then drives to the city and starts pulling threads that were never meant to surface. Marie-Josée Croze brings the right kind of controlled urgency as Diana. The film builds its case without rushing, colder and more precise than most conspiracy thrillers.
