    Tries to cast too wide a net. There's a reason a Cercle Rouge, Army of Shadows etc work and get away with 140m runtimes. If you have a heist scene that takes up more than fifth of the movie's runtime, not much else is there.
    Would have liked to see more backstory for Delon's and Crenna's characters and what exactly their deal was. The female castmembers could have also been more drawn out. Felt rushed. For Melville's last it's a bit meh.

    Overblown, but still worth a watch. 6 years 6 months ago

    a weak movie. but for a director who's made le samourai, a very weak movie. (talk about that drawn out, boring train heist scene with a cartoonish huge red magnet)

    yet, it has a catherine deneuve in nurse uniform, so... a timeless classic.
