Point Blank (A Bout Portant) (2010)

A medical intern becomes embroiled in a police chase when criminals abduct his wife as a means of coercing him into helping a wounded colleague escape from hospital, in this action thriller with a very unlikely plot but held together with a lead performance by a short French Liam Neeson.

Tell No One (Ne Le Dis A Personne) (2006)

This Harlan Coben adaptation is like a gritty French The Fugitive but a great deal more complex because the doctor whose wife is murdered only goes on the run eight years later when two further bodies turn up at the scene of her disappearance, casting doubt on the theory that his wife was the victim of a serial killer.
