    Minor Masterpiece
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2008*

"Un Flic" (A Cop) the last film by Jean-Pierre Melville begins beautifully. The opening shots set during a storm in an Atlantic coast town in France, which introduced the bank robbery are incredibly beautiful and tense. Melville sets up the scene in such a way that you are on the edge of your seat through out this amazing sequence. The heat of the film is turned up against the contrast of these icy shots and as the story progresses it more or less never lets up and holds it's grip ever tightening as the cop, Alain Delon tracks down the crime ring that is much closer than he thinks.Extraordinary cinematograph is a highlight of this film and one gets glimpses of watercolor smudged barren streets of Paris in the winter that are gorgeous. This film has its flaws but they are too much of a distraction. Most jarring is the obvious use of models during a very tense scene on the train.A stunning stand out in the film is Valerie Wilson as Gaby a transvestite who is a stool pidgin for Delon. Touching she is and there is the intriguing undertow of the possibility of romance between the cop and the cross dresser. I am never quite convinced that Delon is merely using her attraction to him to his advantage. Wilson is wonderful in the role, a rare un-judging look at a denizen of this sub-culture.Delon is Delon, which in my opinion is simply great. Fascinating to watch. Catherine Deneuve is little more that window dressing but a cool dish for the eyes non-the less. The real surprise in the film is Richard Crenna. He looks to be speaking his own lines in French and gives a nuanced wonderful performance as the head of the crime gang. He is utterly watchable and after a few moments you forget he is an American actor in a French film.Over all "Un Flic" or as it is called here "Dirty Money" is a fun ride for fans of the heist genre. And on a final note, the last shots of the film are raw and haunting.

    Award winning Michael Conrad is perfect!

I follow the most talented character actor ever  Michel Conrad.His role as Louie Costa adds strongly to this classic heist film with French stars to boot!The pacing is very different from Hollywood films.

    Laughably awful
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2020*

At first glance this seams like a winning formula. It's directed by Jean-Pierre Melville. Alain Delon stars, and, look, he's wearing a trench coat! The opening heist is terrific. So are the first shots of Paris. But then, oh no, something has gone horribly, horribly wrong. Matte paintings start showing up. Huh? That's weird - Melville using matte paintings? That's a first. We are taken to a jazz club but this club is less jazz and curiously a little disco? What? That's a kind of corny. What happened to the cool? And then, it happens: a long - and I do mean long - sequence of the most ridiculous and fake special effects this side of a Toho monster mash. And it drags on. Forever. The parachute scene in Army of Shadows was tolerable because it was short and it's a WWII movie: we expect old WWII movies to have silly special effects. But not a Melville crime-caper. It's so bad, in fact, it's hilarious. Is that what he was going for with this one?Stick to re-watching Le Samourai or Le Cercle Rouge for the hundredth times, and skip this one. Don't say I didn't warn you.
