User Reviews

A wonderful and entertaining thriller

I am surprised that no user has commented it yet. I saw this gem when I was a kid, and I remember it as it was yesterday. In the detail. A gangster story we don't use to wait for from the french movie industry.

Maurice Ronet and Jean Servais give here outstanding performances in hoods characters. Servais is the oldest ones among the godfathers and his son, played by Antonio Cantafora, want to replace him at the top if the organization. With the help of ambitious and ruthless Ronet. In blood, violence and pain. With of course predictable results.

A fairly good actioner made in France, typical of the seventies. No flaw in this movie, as far as I can remember.
