Jean-Pierre Melville wrote and directed this smashing thriller set among the criminal underworld where nothing as is as it seems. Melville shows with a breath taking pace various characters playing dangerous games, amongst them are Maurice Faugel (Serge Reggiani) who's recently out of prison and tries to get back in the game and the mysterious Silien (Jean-Paul Belmondo) whom Faugel considers a friend that could be deadly if he's wrong. Melville depicts a realistic world where one wrong move can be costly with his signature style. Belmondo and Reggiani deliver outstanding performances in the leading roles. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
