This French film is quite long; an hour longer than most other gangster films. However, all the characters are well-developed, there is plenty of action, and the only problem of the film is that is gets a bit talky at times. The second problem of the film is that it has no real protagonist; we know the bad guys will come to a bad end and justice will be served. As heist films go, this one is pretty good, even though it is quite similar to Odds Against Tomorrow (even has similar music). But my favorite scene is the French dancing girls at Club Ricci. Isn't there always a club in a good gangster flick? Well worth your time.
