Expats (R; 97 mins.)
An American shop owner (David Morse) who refuses service to a haughty, chain-smoking French tourist (Gerard Depardieu) gets a violent lesson in international relations in this taut psychological thriller. Suddenly, he's beset on all sides by angry Frenchmen and genuinely fears for his life. The explosive climax will have you whispering "vive le difference!" in the theatre. Andy Griffith is a scene-stealer as Morse's lecherous landlord, though a subplot about a property dispute arising from an improperly recorded deed drags a bit. Directed by Michael Bay.
Brief nudity, mild violence.
