A movie, mostly well-made with good acting of course, as is the French standard, bright dialogues, some interesting storyline plots and lacking just a little thrilling vibe and force.
Some moments throughout the 2h runtime, you feel like that if the editing was done a little better, you could have a movie with 15-20 minutes less and a much faster pace.
In my opinion, the young lady was killed way too soon and after that the cat and mouse chase was a little eccentric and turtle-like with the final ending scenes and one-man prowesses a little hard to digest.
Also, I think that the Colt Python revolver was underused in the movie with little VFX accompanying it. If you've watched Dirty Harry movies with his trademark 357 Magnum, you'll understand what I mean. The scenes involving Yves Montand shooting, mostly showed the man postures, not the tremendous effects of the revolver.
