Though not quite as classic as his "Le Samourai" or "Le Cercle Rouge", Jean Pierre Melville's final film is a cool cops & robbers heist flick with the great casting of Alain Delon, Catherine Denueve and Richard Crenna to top it off... Kino's HD release is a good one that also includes some great supplemental material.
Despite the mix of French and English stars, this one falls flat. Plot holes galore, a detective who needs no clues to solve crimes, and no apparent characterization whatsoever. Even Deneuve's beauty, for the 2 or three minutes she's on screen, can't save this doomed flick. The best scene is the opening bank robbery and then it just dies a slow death. Save your money.
