    Pure crap

    This more than forgettable features is the last of the French crime films made in the eighties, before nearly a twenty years sleep, with the exception of Xavier Durringer's J'IRAI AU PARADIS CAR L'ENFER EST ICI, made in 1997. Nearly twenty years of sleep, before the French movie industry resumes in crime genre with the outstanding Olivier Marchal's arrival, a billion times better than this pure crap. I am ashamed to have watched this, not for the actors, but for the story and production design. Such as the robbery scene where the gangsters are the most terrible jerks I have ever seen in a heist sequence, without masks or hoods on their face, without gloves, behaving like children entering a fairy toy shop after a long wait outside... Poor Jacques Santi, he died just after the release of this garbage Junk film. I guessed he realized how awful his movie was. Or maybe his brain tumor annihilated every sense of story telling or directing. Just forget it.

    Jacques Santi's only film is not a bad effort, with convincing actors such as Richard Borhinger, Pierre Arditi, Julien Guiomar and Smaïn.

    A cop lives to regret having allowed two crooks escape when he was about to catch them red-handed. A crime thriller in the classic style, in which the much lamented Jacques Santi (Tanguy in the series " The Knights of the Sky ") imposed for his first and only film a sense of the atmosphere certain which makes up for the lack of originality of the undertaking. The acting is very convincing.
