Aka: 36 Quai des Orfèvres
Two of France’s finest male actors go head to head in this gritty, violent police thriller. Forget Gérard Depardieu’s shitty English language films, this is what he’s really capable of. Daniel Auteuil delivers, as usual, an equally gripping performance. Both men are detectives but in different departments; one follows the law when it suits him, the other makes his own law. They each want to solve the same case but for different reasons.
It’s stylistically similar at times to a Michael Mann film, but unlike Mann's overblown efforts this one isn't boring.
