As others have already observed, "Le Saut De L'Ange" is basically a French version of "Get Carter" (made the same year), and like in that film, there is no one for the audience to root for, as it tells the story of a bloody vendetta where all parties are equally brutal and vicious. The story is typical, and there are also some technical faults (like a car driver getting hurt in his right eye but later shown with his left eye injured), but there is also some fine stuntwork and memorable scenes (like the killing at the drive-in - I don't remember ever seeing anything like that before), and an ending that may also remind you of that of "Get Carter", but actually improves upon it. The gorgeous Senta Berger is second-billed, but her role is relatively small. **1/2 out of 4.
