Les Keufs
1987 Crime / Comedy / Drama   

 

Review
Josiane Balasko certainly fits the role of a no-nonsense, tough female cop, but her feisty performance in this, her second film as a director, is just about all the film has going for it.  The situations, characters and plot are all about as clichéd and banal as they could be, lacking the charm and inspiration of Balasko’s later films.  A lacklustre script and mediocre performances from the supporting cast greatly diminishes the film’s entertainment value and it is a real chore to have to sit it through to the bitter end.
