With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for anyone drawn to the darker side of the street and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful. Liked The Bride Wore Black or The Insult? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Tense, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 34 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1963: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
Mustapha, a cab driver in Paris, charges a customer in a hurry, without realizing that he is in a hurry to escape his pursuers after robbing a jewelry store. The next day, reading the newspapers, Mustapha becomes aware of the role he has played in this affair, and would gladly assist the police if a fortuitous incident didn't make him fear the criminals' vengeance. It's a cruel dilemma in which he is both suspected by some and threatened by others. Weak but honest, he manages to get out of this predicament at the risk of his life!
