Synopsis
Above the Law (Tueurs, 2017) is a Belgian crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Career robber Frank Valken thinks he's just pulled off the perfect job — then wakes up as the prime suspect in a murder case three decades old that has nothing to do with him.
Directing duo François Troukens and Jean-François Hensgens build the story on a real Belgian mystery: the unsolved "Brabant killers" attacks of the 1980s. Valken and his crew are framed so cleanly there's no thread left to pull, while the men who'd benefit from pinning an old judge's killing on convenient criminals hide behind ministerial titles and police badges. Lubna Azabal plays an investigator who doesn't buy the tidy version, with Olivier Gourmet and Bouli Lanners adding grit to a world where nobody comes out clean.
It moves fast — car chases, shootouts, the texture of French polar — but skips the heroics entirely. A solid pick if you like tangled European crime and don't expect a Hollywood ending. Stream Above the Law (2017) online on iFILM.
