Spare and electric like a Georges Simenon novel, this French crime thriller's first half is an account of how unlikely coincidence brings two crims together; the second half tells of their Rififi-esque jewellery heist with the police on their tail; and the rambling, overreaching whole is delivered with uber 70s French-Italian cool with trenchcoated gumshoes, American cars cutting through Parisian streets, some startling camera work and Alain Delon's icy grey eyes.
