Cheap movie, 10 December 1998
4/10
Author: Robert Bossy (bossy@ccr.jussieu.fr) from Paris, France

Adapted from the thriller book series. Each book is written by a different author but the detective (nicknamed Le Poulpe=The Octopus). The film is longer than it takes to read one of them. I never laughed but always smiled for the black humor. You can see it if you are interested by France in the 80's.
