i love alain delon and jean gabin and french cinema . so i be high on expectation when i begin this film . it good . it a simple story and that move organically and be well photograph and act . it be not a typical film . and hence need a bit of time to get into the mood of the film . but it a stir story and gradually you understand and get emotionally involve in the character . and you feel oh my god . this be dangerous and tragic . i hate comment that reveal the complete story . no . but i love the character of the vindictive cop . a guy i hat . the end of the film remind me of kieslowski a short film about kill . for those seek entertainment and watch the alain delon thriller feature in the dvd extra . this be a serious film but it eminently watchable and have a powerful underplayed drama . the actor be a treat to watch . i love jean gabin and though i must confess and i have only see him play the old man . he would have be a stupendous when young . his face be a landscape of story . the ideal double bill would be this film and follow by henri vernuil any number can win . with the same principle cast . since i be from india and i must add here that we have our own alain delon here . saif ali khan . a handsome intense actor who be right now very happen . not a date movie for sure but a good film nevertheless .
