Increasingly I have more respect over the real French movies, this Noir picture has a fabulous phrase said by Adolfo Celi, "Beware don't try to save the world, just defend the society as it really is" that reflects on our kind of society, when his partner and close friend L'Inspecteur Barnero (Fresson) was killed pursuing two killers, the honest L'Inspecteur Favenin (Bouquet) decides make justice by own hands, killing all them whom were involved with Barnero's death, unusual plot, Faverin an inconspicuous policeman, using all kinds of gimmicks to get his revenge, a slight cold behavior, sneaky he get in at house's assassin Villete (Constantin) there he faces the killer, a fabulous sequence, killing him like a dog, nevertheless came out the regret, even an unknown picture if look the numbers of votes at IMDB, just few 270 with seven reviews only, it has a great casting, although it's a brutal movie, violent and contemporary, a realistic picture, impressed me entirely, hope others have a change to see the hidden
gem from the director Yves Boisset who displayed several allusive red posters !!
