Sorry, this movie sucks

So much average

good back-story, and good acting

Excellent adaptation.

First let me clarify that I love European movies; simple because they are free of the political correctness in USA. Second because they do not care about sex but they REALLY care about violence; which is healthy (no sex = end of humanity so do not be moralist ).Well loft is exactly the opposite. A very moral tale about friends sharing an apartment for sexual adventures; that one day find out a dead woman body in the bed and try to find out who did it.Obviously was one of them and in a things has an unexpected twist in the third act (and another one in the fourth ); but the first one is absurd and the second even worse. By the epilogue; everybody but the killer has done the right and morally correct thing. To be sincere; the first half of the movie; is intriguing; but as things start to clarify, events seems forced and without any reasonable logic.In brief; do not lose your time with this. It could happens the American remake is better; but with this original it should not going to be any better.

Loft is recommended for all lovers of murder mysteries. Here, Each character can have several motives, but not necessarily those you may think… the film will have you in its grip the whole time as you will keep guessing, and of course most of your guesses won't come true!As in many other murder mysteries, one of the themes here is that NO ONE can be trusted. Another is that nothing is absolute. It may even remind you of Rashomon in a way…I especially enjoyed the lighting and set locations, and I won't forget Flip's naughty looks at his wedding when he is presented with his key! if I am not mistaken he's the one that says: "now we must look for someone to take to the loft!"the film has a well-developed plot. Every piece of it seems to fit into the other well, but by this I don't mean that we can't find holes. with all those short cuts, The film moves so fast that at some points, you may not even have the time to think about the plot itself!! and maybe that's one of the reasons that most of the viewers praise the plot. In fact, it has so many details that a week after watching the film, you will probably forget half of them and what you will remember of it is the feeling of thrill that made you enjoy it. Now that I think about it, I understand how those friends lost trust in each other, but I don't know why they trusted each other in the first place!And I should also admit that the ending did not satisfy me as it did not match the dynamic plot of the film… But overall, I enjoyed the film and look forward to learning more about Belgian cinema

Highly recommended Belgian movie Loft (2008), proved to be a very engaging cinematic fare about five married men renting a state-of-the-art loft apartment as a playground for their extramarital affairs and a meeting point for encounters with their mistresses, one of them, eventually, becoming an object of a crime scene, so the initial story about five "allies", plotting together, united around their common gains and benefits, evolves into exciting whodunit puzzle about five "enemies" scheming against each other, divided by their individual excuses and vindication, a group of supposed-to-be friends now going through self-exposing, eye-opening exercise, with a number of revealing-concealing, (un)intentionally deceiving, mystery building flash-backs, leading to a numerous clever twists and turns.

i feel the biggest holes is that why they need to pretend they know nothing, when they already called Vincent in? all they need to do is to bring him there and give him a drug-ed drink, which only take 5 minutes but instead all these actors played one hour to figure out what's going on is just to confused audience and suspending audience.It's kind of trying to be smart when u r not really smart.then some others minors:Why Luk tried to sell the place under the dead girl's name? Why Luk was back that place again at the end, and how did Chris know he would be there and called the police?the plot seems just not working? or did i missed anything from the English subtitle?
