Prioritize:
A fine, but not groundbreaking crime drama with a great Lino Ventura, already the way we like him. The film is (perhaps surprisingly) quite action-packed and its plot is not entirely predictable, which made me happy. Only the script could have played more with the secret service, who sent the protagonist into action again against his will. ()
