Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: A mysterious thief named Laure (Rebecca Romijn) double-crosses her team then hides in the guise of another woman.

Kitty Cameo: The first segment of the film is about the heist which takes place at the Cannes Film Festival. While Laure and Black Tie (Eriq Ebouaney) steal the expensive jewels from a guest, another man named Racine (Edouard Montoute) is inside a duct, boring a hole to gain access to the building’s lighting system. We see the basement where a night watchman is in a booth and a tabby cat is on top of the computer.

Racine uses a night vision camera on an extending pole to reach the computer without being spotted by the guard. But he is spotted by the cat.

The cat plays with the camera, thinking it is a toy.

Eventually the cat jumps down from the computer and Racine can continue with his work.
