Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans, romantics and anyone who wants a laugh.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 55 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1973: an older pace and style.

Released from prison under a New Year amnesty, a criminal tries to pick up the threads of a life changed not only by his daring plan to rob a jewelry store in out-of-season Cannes, but also by a very special someone he met there.
