In the context of so-called Belmondo films, it is a weak endeavor, and I wouldn't hesitate to say one of the weakest. This is not only because Belmondo is not here as a quote-happy plebeian, but he is a member of the country's financial elite and actually the planet's as well. Elegant suits and luxury do not suit him as well as the negligent attire of a police officer or a gallery attendant. The whole story about a left-wing industrialist and his fight against evildoers and war criminals, as well as the conspiracy against him, is poorly conceived and unbelievable.
