Jean-Claude Missiaen had a very brief career as a
director in the mid-1980s, and this is one of his typical police dramas that
allude to American movie tough guys and detectives, to previous films in the
same genre, and to well-known police/criminal actors or types (such as Humphrey
Bogart). The story revolves around the relationship between a team of two
policemen, brash and quick to act, devoted to justice and bending the rules to
get it. The duo have to overcome a sexually off-beat, evil woman and a group of
gangsters doing illegal real estate deals if they are to succeed on their
currently assigned case. The two policemen (Gerard Lanvin
and ) have their share of shoot-outs and brawls before the bad
guys and bad woman discover that crime does not pay as well as they thought.
Caught between references to other movies and characters, a certain amount of
melodrama, and a wandering camera style, director Missiaen may have taken off in
too many directions at once to maintain the interest of most
viewers.
