The film also features French actress Camille Cottin of the hit series Dix Pour Cent – known by the English title Call My Agent! on Netflix.

She reminisced about ‘kidding around with’ Matt as ‘he was like taking all these videos and selfies with the crowd and I was like: “You’re being such a tourist. Like, you’re being such a dad. Stop.” He’s like: “It’s cool.”‘
Abigail stars in the movie as a college girl studying abroad in Marseille who is accused of murdering one of her female friends and winds up in a French jail.

She insists that she is innocent prompting her father – an Oklahoma roughneck played by Matt – heads to France in order to assist with her exoneration.
In order to prepare for the film Abigail visited the Marseillaise prison Baumettes and got a feel for her character’s circumstances.
‘They were really generous with their time and let us kind of walk through and see what day-to-day life would basically be like for my character,’ she said.

‘And so the guards that you actually see in the film are real guards that work at the prison,’ the Zombieland actress revealed.
Directed by Tom McCarthy of Spotlight fame the new movie will get a theatrical release in the United States this Friday.
Although the premise has echoes of the Amanda Knox case Tom has warned audiences not to get carried away with the comparison.
‘I was excited by that case and there was inspiration, but it’s not accurate if you put too much emphasis on it,’ he told the Orange County Register.
