Ever the tough guy, Jean Gabin plays a steely farm owner who runs a strict operation. When his grandson becomes involved with dangerous criminals, the family farm becomes a battleground. Gabin defends his home from the gangsters using equally brutal measures and traps. In addition to the criminals, the police begin to look in on the farm and the numerous deaths. Not Gabin's most complex performance, nor the most well constructed gangster flick, La Horse is still a satisfying, bloody thriller which is plenty fun worth looking for.
