Edouard Coleman (Alain Delon) spends his days and nights chasing criminals, but doesnt see the crook right under his nose. Simon, a smooth nightclub owner, works with a small crew to execute daring heists with big payoffs, while the beautiful Cathy is torn between them. As cop and criminal do what they do best, paths converge and old scores must be settled. The 13th and final film from Gallic great Melville doubles-down the ice-blue look that had been the directors signature in Le Samourai and Le Cercle Rouge, both starring the equally cool Delon.
