A ruthless gang of armed robbers is terrorizing Paris. The tough and hard working Vrinks played by Daniel Auteuil and the drunk and manipulative Klein played by Gérard Depardieu (happy coincidence or good casting?) are sent after them with Vrink set to become the next commisionare should they succeed, but when a snitch sets Vrink up as an accomplice to a murder Klein does his best to bring him down.
Auteuil and Depardieu are both quite good. Valeria Golino, the girl with the sizzling stomach in Hot Shots, is still sizzling as Vrinks' wife and some of them give good performances but the story, though it starts well, gets more and more outlandish as it goes on.
There's nothing of real note here. It doesn't stand up to films like Mesrine and it's not bad enough to be kitch. It's perfectly watchable but there are a lot better.
