Movie Reviews of Un Flic

Movie Review: Flawless
Summary: 5 Stars

In fact, this is a laconic tough movie, and that's all to the good. When you see a beautiful woman administer a lethal dosage, you know you're watching the work of a director who doesn't flinch when it comes to portraying toughness. It's really a shame this was Melville's last film; it would have been fascinating to see what he would and could have done had he lived longer.

At the same time, when you also see the tough cop playing a sentimental jazz ballad on a nightclub piano, you know this is a film that doesn't wear its heart on its sleeve, but that definitely has one. It's the combination of this toughness and tenderness that makes the film sing--and zing. And the train heist (of drugs, not money) is a marvel to behold.

Here's a French film that everyone who thinks French films are all about romance or zany sex romping should definitely see. It's unsparing, it's stronger than dirt, and it is way cool, brother.

Nab it.
