You may see much more that is actually in this film. JH being an actor of very limited range.
So you do think giving it another try may help?
Victor did like it too, if I remember well.
I will.

fit into the "plot."
It may be extremely difficult for someone who has known him as a rock star to take him seriously as an actor: I know I have a problem with Bon Jovi, though he is harmless enough on the screen.
Hallyday has real menace mixed with...tenderness. Only a few actors could project this. Revisit the scene in the bar wherein the drunk bumps into him. Imagine how a typical actor would have played it. He must know Shakespeare's directions about acting, delivered by Hamlet to the players: little is more.

  Yes you are fully right, it is a hard test to take a Pop star knows for his " being not very bright " as a full actor. Maybe then you do not have to be intelligent to be good as a player?
  Well it won�t help me to tell you that he does himself not consider as a good actor and so two third of the French...And I won�t hide behind.
  But still you maybe right, I may have a prejudice.
  Who knows?
  But as I said I will give it a second go.

I really enjoyed it. It seems that good French film is more about people and relationships with the plot being some sort of loose excuse to have them interacting on screen. By the way, JH is NO pretty boy.

  Well in the same way I may have a prejudice on JH, one may have, in the positive sense, for French films....
  PS: No wonder after all is lifting.....

  has "it." That menace that Brando had, with the humanity also present.
  I think it was he in "Iron Triangle;" his was the only reason to see it.
