Directed by the late Jacques Deray, this forgotten movie is up there with the director's best work. Maybe not in the same league with "La Piscine" and "Flic Story", but on the same level with one of my favorites, "Trois Hommes Abattre".
The movie was a flop when it came out because dealing with terrorism it coincided with a string of terrorist attacks in France and because the french crime thriller ("le polar") was becoming out of fashion. But it's a great film with a superb performance by the wonderful Yves Montand, one of is last.
There is only a french DVD without any subtitles and it's very hard to find online. Hope some day it'll came out on BLU Ray.
A forgotten gem. One of the last great "polars".
