Trivia

The film is based on the novel "Nada", by Jean-Patrick Manchette. In fact, while the gang members are discussing the plan in Treuffais' apartment, Díaz notes that the brothel the ambassador should be at is located between Kleber Avenue and Manchette Street. That is a screenwriters' funny idea. In the novel, there is not any Manchette Street, obviously. See more »

not a good Chabrol
23 February 2019 | by happytrigger-64-390517 – See all my reviews

I was completely disappointed with that Chabrol rarity telling the plot of the Nada gang, with comletely dull characters. The first part is undrinkable, you see anarchists boozing all the time and always telling stupid political sentences, kind of raging nouvelle vague with uninteresting scenes. The best part is the farm assault when cops shoot to destroy the Nada Gang, like they did later with Mesrines. But it remains far from the best Chabrol, he wasn't an action director. And the music score is awful.
