A great French crime drama. This is part one of two. Watched this on NWI and the hi-def stream looked great. Can’t wait for part two, which comes to NWI soon.
I keep hearing comparisons to The Godfather. Not even close stylistically, or really even with the subject matter. However, it’s still a well-filmed and acted movie. I really liked the opening scene; it captures the spirit of the rest of the film very well.
