Cop movie was truly a big part of French cinema in the 60's and the 70's. And this one is true to the genre. Granier-Deferre is able to make us care for commissaire Vergeat, the cop who's ready to use unorthodox ways to catch the bad guy. But Vergeat's way of doing things gets him into trouble. He's got to play politics. Ah! poor Vergeat!
One last thing: Lino Ventura does a terrific job playing the commissaire.
Out of 100, I give Adieu Poulet 82. That's good for *** out of ****.
Seen at home, in Toronto, on September 11th, 2002.
