    A great film for anyone who's interested in Caper movies to watch. This film truly was the inspiration for popular films today, such as Ocean's Eleven, Heist, and even Mission Impossible. Watch on a rainy day to get the full effect of a grim, crime filled Paris.

    A brilliantly streamlined heist thriller that progresses along genre lines and then grows darker and more complex as it examines the crossfire of motivations that bring the entire venture down to a crashing climax.

    Among the picture's many surprises is a superb robbery scene filmed in a near-total silence that contrasts exhilaratingly with the noisy flamboyance of more recent films in this venerable genre.

    It's terse, atmospheric, fatalistic, with vertiginous camera angles and edits offsetting its gray documentary flatness.

    The new print does justice to Philippe Agostini's splendidly atmospheric cinematography.
