Movie Reviews of Un Flic
Movie Review: Now I've seen it all.
Summary: 3 Stars
I just watched this on DVD last night and it is the first Alain Delon film I've seen in color, even though I'm fond of his films, I guess I'm just not the film buff that most reviewers here are. The most intriguing thing about this film and the reason I selected it on Netflix is that Richard Crenna also has a starring role. Hard to imagine what that would look like - of course he was a lot younger in 1972 - so was I.
I liked the stylishness of the action and the plot was interesting, maybe not riveting, but I was evenly entertained and Alain looked good as usual. Then all of a sudden I was rolling on the floor laughing hysterically. WHY? The train robbery scenes used a horribly obvious toy train set and an equally unbelievable plastic model helicopter. So now I am watching the rest of the film through a veil of tears and stifled guffaws.
Until that is, Richard Crenna, nattily dressed in his stylish French robe and patterned silk pajamas is trying to look nonchalant and cool, smoking a cigarette, oh so casually, in the corridor of the train car and all the while has this huge huge horse-shoe magnet (yes, with the ends painted RED) clanking around his neck (with a few other things) and hidden under his attire.
I came undone again and really kind of missed the whole end of the film because it was just so outrageously, no, sublimely ridiculous I couldn't get that image out of my mind and stop laughing. I enjoyed this film a lot and plan now to buy a copy right here at Amazon.
