Rough Cynical Police Tale Becomes Tender Love Story, 9 December 1999
7/10
Author: quiet from Sydney Australia

This is a very well acted and directed police story about a French detective investigating a gang of thieves which is headed by an old friend of his. What begins as a cynical film about violence and prostitution turns into a tender love story.
