Sinekatalog’s take
Bertrand Tavernier's procedural follows Paris narcotics detectives hampered by bureaucracy, poor gear and tough dealers. Gritty, funny and humane, with a loose documentary feel, it is a lively, realistic police film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
