Description
More recognized in the U.S. for his contributions to the nouvelle vague and French arthouse cinema, Belmondo became an international superstar in the 70s and 80s with a series of action vehicles where the actor developed a tough guy persona as riveting and charismatic as Steve McQueen’s or Clint Eastwood’s. Here, Belmondo plays a mercenary bounty hunter on the trail of a bank robber/serial killer (a fantastically sinister Cremer). The excellent, pulse-pounding score is by Michel Colombier.
