Synopsis

Set in modern-day France, The Statement is the story of Pierre Brossard (Michael Caine) who, as a young man during World War II, committed a heinous crime. Brossard has never been brought to trial and has lived a peaceful and anonymous life sheltered by right-wing elements within the Catholic church. A new investigation into his crimes is launched by an ambitious judge (Tilda Swinton) and a scrupulous Colonel (Jeremy Northam). Even though Brossard manages to outwit the state investigation, he is simultaneously tracked by mysterious hit men. With two hunters on his heels, Brossard must try to stay alive and find out who is after him.
