    Dark , complex and twisted French thriller with two greatest actors : Gerard Depardieu and Olivier Marchal
    A cop called Mat (Gerard Depardieu) goes up against corruption and violence of others colleagues , as well as mobsters and dark political forces . His lifelong friend, Frank (Olivier Marchal) related to one of the city biggest drug traffickers and become involved into dirty issues , then Mat attempts to help him , but things go wrong. As Mat attempts his redemption. By means of a relentless vengeance .

    French formula thriller with plenty of action , crisply edition , tension , intrigue , suspenseful , and loads of violence with reminiscent to "Dirty Harry" and ¨Charles Bronson¨ films . A nice cop movie , being realized in ¨Polar¨style , and written by the prolific actor and cult director Olivier Marchal at his best . Here he delivers frenetic action , thriller and violence enough along the nail-biting flick . It is a flick of interwoven lives structured in two protagonists , Gerad Depardieu and Olivier Marchal , crossed by a web of suspense that is resolved in the last reel in a surprising finale . Gerard Depardieu as Mat is one of the main roles of this dark tale of cops in distresses , as he must affront nasty politicians , police force executives and ruthless delinquents . His walk to discover the truth becomes increasingly hard and blurs the usual lines of ethic and morality , until there seems no difference between police and delinquents he pursues . Furthermore , a real description about the underbelly of the precinct station and the criminal world , including a ruthless gang committing a series of violent crimes . The flick revolves around tragic events become complex throughout the movie . This serious and truly original film with groundbreaking narrative results to be an intriguing story of ambition , corruption , deceiving and killing , being professionally done , swiftly paced and including a twisted screenplay . The film was noteworthy for casting some of the finest actors in France . Exceptional acting by Gerard Depardieu as an unfortunate cop who executes a merciless vengeance and nice Olivier Marchal as an unsettling police with dark purports . Support cast is frankly good , such as Anne Coesens , Aïssa Maïga , Catherine Marchal and Asia Argento.

    Here stands out Olivier Marchal as a corrupt cop , he's a good French actor who played several Noir flicks . He is also a notorious writer/producer/director . As he did a formidable job with ¨36th precinct¨ . Olivier then wrote the first draft of the interesting Diamant 13 , and so on ; being helped by diirector Gilles Behat himself , and based on Hugues Pagan's novel. Olivier is a notorious writer/director and he formerly was a police officer . As Olivier Marchal started taking acting lessons when he still was a police officer . He began his career in televisión , appearing in supporting parts or writing scripts for detective TV series . In 1989 when Yves Rénier resurrected his TV series Commissaire Moulin (1976) he became his partner as scriptwriter , series supervisor and sometimes actor . In 2000 he starred as Commandant Pierre Rivière in his own TV series "Police district" (1999) , written by novelist Hugues Pagan , himself also a former police officer . His films are usually played by same actors such as : Gerard Depardieu , Daniel Auteuil , Daniel Duval , Francis Renaud and Catherine Marchal . Olivier Marchal , a great actor/writer/director has directed sensational French thrillers , just like "36th Precinct" , ¨Gangsters¨ , , ¨Mr73¨ and ¨Les Lyonnais¨ (2011) as good as this "36 Quai Des Orfèvres" (France original title) also titled "36th Precinct" and this ¨Diamond 13¨ . The motion picture was professionally directed by Gilles Behat , though it has some gaps , flaws and disjoined scenes . Gilles Béhat was born in1949 in Lille, France as Gilles Marc Béat. He is a director and actor, specially known for his thrillers and dramas , such as Haro (1977), Rue Barbare (1984) , Les longs manteaux (1986) , Charlie Dingo (1987) ,Dancing machine (1990) and Diamond 13 (2009). Rating : 6/10 . Acceptable and passable.
