Reviews
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
I watch this from time to time; each time it's a little more entertaining. It's not as good as some of the other later Jean Gabin films - Touche Pas au Grisbi, or Traversee de Paris - but it's a lot more relaxed. Jean Gabin is a sad piece of gambling wreckage, living from horserace to horserace by bullying his clientele to take shoddy tips. His pride and bluster are still intact, though, and what baldfaced lies he gets away with! The snapshot views of 1962 Paris are nice too - the Bois de Boulogne walkers, French horseracing, even a woman learning to cook pheasant from a TV show (and I thought that "la bonne cuisine" was a French genetic trait.....).
