A gang of criminals is planning a safe-cracking job,
but don't trust each other very much.
There are Maurice (Serge Reggiani), Rémy, Nutteccio (Michel Piccoli),
Thèrése and
Silien (Jean-Paul Belmondo) the latter providing the tech stuff as drills
to the gang.
The film takes place in Paris but a grey wasteland Paris,
so you wouldn't know it, and
no-one is likeable in this gritty crime-thriller
Jean-Paul Belmondos Silian is a police mole but soon with no-one in
the police who
knows this fact, and with robber and murderer Maurice being hard to
handle.
