Summary
Having successfully pulled off a meticulously planned jewel robbery, five crooks meet
up at an agreed rendez-vous. There, they await with growing impatience the arrival
of their chief, Jeff, who will decide how the spoils of the robbery are to be shared.
When Jeff fails to turn up, the crooks suspect they have been betrayed. Only Laurent,
his young protégé, remains convinced of Jeff’s fidelity. Is he right?
Time is running out…
Review
This typically Delonesque crime thriller is a curiously artificial, non-committal affair.
Shunned by the public and slated by the critics, it represents among the first in a series
of major commercial failures for the actor-producer Alain Delon.
Delon himself made the decision to cast Mireille Darc as his co-star in the film; the actress would become his partner for 15 years afterwards. © James Travers 2006 Write a review for this film... |
