The bottom of the hole

Boisterous life of French drug smugglers in the mid-seventies and there's also the undercover cops a few steps behind. The entire drug war - based on a true story, I'm told - was heavily personified on two people on both side of the fence; judge Pierre Michel (Jean Dujardin) and the head of mafia Gaƫtan 'Tany' Zampa (Gilles Lellouche). And that brought reminiscences of the great Heat (Michael Mann). Nicely executed film.

No comments:

One-stroke deficit

Inspired by the real events of t he biggest heist of all time on Danish soil. But the filmmakers have certainly taken it easy with the facts...
