The compositions are striking throughout, but the plotting leaves something to be desired. Certain points are exciting, but the downtime in between is a lot of fussing about. Some of it is necessary to propel the story, but so much of it is done in a really dull fashion. The first hour especially is a real chore. The rest is an improvement, but never really takes off. A film with some fine qualities, particularly if you're fond of that fatalistic French gangster style, but needs some trimming.
