sexist and dated

A Customer from Exeter, 26th October, 2008

This is a very odd film indeed. A tough guy cop who initially appears as wordly - wise and a man of the streets falls in love with an inveterate liar and cheat - albeit beautiful. Why he turns from macho man to sop is never really explained. The film is also sexist and is dated and slightly unpleasant because of this. The Algerian theme is an interesting one and foreshadows some the issues France faces now. If you are a big Depardieu fan then this might be for you but I have seen him play more complex and believable tough guy characters than this one. Not a great movie by any means.
