Warning: Spoilers
One of the many films starring Belmondo in the usual part of the rascal who would like to be nice (but he isn't) and who performs acrobatic feats (yes, the whole world knows that he didn't want stunts!).

The film actually promises well, because it has a masterful initial quarter of an hour, consisting of the robbery of a safe full of emeralds carried out in total silence. But the rest of the film is cracked up, doesn't follow a clear line, offers us a long and pointless car chase, cast Dyan Cannon just to secure overseas distribution, and ultimately attempt a tribute to Dreyer (the death of the suffocated policeman in the warehouse). But Dreyer can't be touched!
