La Menace / The Threat / Alain Corneau / 1977 / film review (360 words) |
 | After their great success with Police Python 357 in 1976, director Alain Corneau and actor Yves Montand are reunited for a similarly well-crafted and suspenseful film noir thriller. |
| Although the plot is something of a mess, with one improbable plot development repeatedly overtaken by an even more improbable plot development, the film has a great deal to commend it. |
| Corneau’s masterful appreciation of the aesthetics of film noir allows him to construct a compelling crime-thriller which should appeal to any enthusiast of the genre. |
