REVENGE

Today's Daniel Autueil film was

36 Quai des Orfèvres / Precinct 36

Nothing could be farther than the farcical comedies of the last two days.

A thriller. A dirty cop film. A buddy film. A revenge film for the third act.

Gerard Depardieu is the dirty cop who gets ahead of our hero through deceit and corruption. We know that, in the end, he will get his but it is a painful process.

Autueil is not exactly a clean cop but he is virtuous inside and has a beautiful wife and child who get involved. The wife.

This got a high IMDb rating too.

I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5 because I would not mind seeing it again at all.

One virtue of this film is that the subtitles are rather complete. No shortcuts. So they are fast and furious and it is sometimes necessary (and worthwhile) to go back to see what was said.
