Critiques (2)
A film often shown on our TVs. Delon seeks to avenge his friend's death, despite powerful adversaries that include top political figures. A slightly convoluted story that quickly fades from your mind when it's over.

Even the presence of the proven Delon cannot prevent the realization that the script is overcomplicated and unbelievable, moreover with problematic ethical implications. The fighter for justice is supposed to be a person who cold-bloodedly lies and covers up a murder committed by his friend. Delon is too invulnerable in his role, it is even comical when he repeatedly emerges from a wrecked car unharmed. The main advantage of the film remains the cast, whether it is female or male roles cast with acting personalities. Overall impression: 50%.
