Proving rampant corruption does exist in seemingly every corner of the world, "Z" profiles horrid political corruption in Greece. It's a bit strange that the screenplay is in French given the Greece setting, but I suppose we Americans do it all the time, populating films based in foreign locales with our North American actors. Well, here the French have a go at it. Without giving too much away: the assassination of a key figure in the film is not believably depicted. That pivotal scene did not convince me. This is an unfortunate flaw in what is otherwise a gripping, well-acted work.
