Borsalino and Co.

Far from flawless but certainly enjoyable. The plot is captivating albeit occasionally half-baked, especially in the first part where several incidents do not feel justified enough, like there are scenes missing. That's not to say the film makes no sense (you can almost see the script's bullet points before your eyes), only that writer Pascal Jardin maybe was a little lazy. The zoom-ins strike as slightly amateurish but otherwise Jacques Deray succeeds in delivering atmosphere and notable oomph.
