Parisian police commissioner Coleman (Alain Delon) is not a happy man, but he does what he can to get through each day. He has recently started having an affair with Cathy (Catherine Deneuve), and that helps a little. Cathy is also Simon's girlfriend and Simon (Richard Crenna) is Coleman's friend. Unfortunately, Simon is also the head of a gang of criminals. When Coleman's investigation of a drug-smuggling ring closes in, their rivalry comes to a head. One of the highlights of this film is a stunt involving a helicopter and a moving train. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

    An annoying experience. Very good in spots, especially the wonderful opening bank robbery. But often slow-moving and dull, with a climax that made no sense to me at all.

    When Melville is good, his films are well worth the subtitles. This is not one of those. And the cheesy train/helicopter sequence harkens back to the Buck Rogers spaceship on a visible string. Catherine Deneuve is the best face on film, ever....but not much else about this crime film is worth it. Too bad this was Melville's final effort.
