Trivia:
This film was shot like a documentary. It was very rarely shown in France until recently, and the torture scenes were cut in the US and UK. moreGoofs:
Continuity: Ali's first assignment is to assault a police officer. During this, the cop's hat falls to the ground, and the position of the hat changes between cuts. moreQuotes:
Col. Mathieu: The word "torture" doesn't appear in our orders. We've always spoken of interrogation as the only valid method in a police operation directed against unknown enemies. As for the NLF, they request that their members, in the event of capture, should maintain silence for twenty-four hours... moreFAQ
