La scoumoune is full of plot twists. At first glance, it looks like a crime movie only for things to end up in jail in the second half. But it still isn’t completely over. Another strange thing here is that Belmondo keeps a straight face but at the same time does the crazy shenanigans we know him to do. I stopped taking this film seriously at the moment when he stuck a peg up one of the guards’ ass during a jail scuffle. ()
