The finale with Belmondo and Hossein is probably the best moment, but I can’t understand why a storyline that could easily have been sold in a classic way had to be drowned in effects for the sake of effects. Sometimes it seems to me that creators choose this as the easier path. I haven’t seen a film in a long time that handles women so crudely. Compared to Delon’s occasional slap to his female counterpart, it’s just another reminder that the legendary era of French crime films has no way of returning.
