Stylish heist film that also has a procedural secondary story at the same time. Although I'm a fan of the long (and Rififi-quiet) heist sequence, it takes so long that apparently there was only room for about two minutes of baffling "ending," which is a letdown for this otherwise high-quality piece.

Straightforward heist film with little dialogue. Undeniably well crafted and well acted but I'm not sure what justifies its classic status.

This crime thriller is amazingly spare even by Melville's standards. He seems dedicated to using only the minimum amount of dialogue necessary to tell his story, and it results in a wonderfully cool and tense film.

The overwhelming vibe I get from this is Melville sitting down and deciding to make the greatest, most unimpeachable heist film he could possibly make. Master at the height of his powers and all that.

Bad ending. It feels so inevitable but not in that good fatalistic way. It's just like "of course that happens"

One great heist sequence doesn't make a great film, let alone when it takes forever for the film to get there. I think Melville's minimalistic style became both his biggest asset and albatross, showing a director in command of a distinct visual language that loses its appeal and effectiveness once the scripts reveals its contrivances. It works until you notices it doesn't.

The slow pace works for the methodically followed heist scene, but otherwise makes this film tough going, with occasional moments of greatness throughout.

Another heist movie. Not much to see there. It doesn't study the characters' psychologies at all, besides the "all men are guilty, though born innocent" trope, which is the only thing that could be interesting in such a movie. There are some very silly moments (The chief of the police escorting a criminal on his own in a night train who obviously escapes and then gets 500 policemen to chase him?). So many lighting mismatches between cuts.
