Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow....just wow.
Review: THIS, my friends, is what hooked me onto french cinema. Like the vast majority of the films from that era, the direction is gritty and uncouth. The "artsy" appeal of french new wave is what keeps me hooked. But enough with the genre itself! That fateful summer night in Boston, Alain Delon came ranked amongst my favourite actours. In a somewhat sardonic way, he's rather debonaire as Corey. Despite having to glue my eyes to the subtitles throughout the entire picture [high school french doesn't get you far], I appreciated every performance. Melville has done his share to become one of my favourite filmmakers, his style has become recognizable with each I watch. The tale is, although simple, one of my favourite in my film collection. And for such this is, I'm enthralled to the edge of my seat as each second ticks on.

And yes...this, as stated before, epitomizes cool. Scared of the "artsy" flicks? My own mother liked this film.
