In view of the fact that the film basically has no story, it works surprisingly well. The action is really well executed, the timing is good and Lahaie shows that she really can act. Quite interesting that this was at a time when she was still doing hardcore. The director also only made hardcore apart from this film so again it works surprisingly well. The music sounds rather Morricone-ish. Overall it is a fairly typical French action vehicle of the 80s, pretty much like what Belmondo was churning out at the time - but with breasts. In terms of violence the film certainly went more than one step further then most European films at the time. I expected to be entertained for all the wrong reasons but was pleasantly surprised.
