A rare gem

[searchanddestroy-1 · 27 November 2016]

What a wonderful surprise for me who is a rare film noirs - from all over the world - digger. I did not have heard of this film before, nor the director and the actors. Daniel Sorano, who plays the lead character, is very convincing, his face would perfectly have been at its place in a Jean-Pierre Melville's film, no problem. The film takes mostly place in Holland. A professional thief, an international safe cracker, is hired to pull a major heist. So you can consider it as a heist, caper scheme feature. The movie comes from an old 16mm print, not so good, but quite acceptable. This is not a masterpiece but worth watching.
